Hello!  Does anyone know of a keyboard shortcut that will make a new layer?  Thank you!

      By default it's Ctrl + L or Cmd + L

      You can change the shortcut, if you like.

        So, CTL+L makes a new layer, but doesn't open the dialog box, so you still have to use the mouse in order to name the layer.  It sounds nit-picky, but I'm converting older files to AI and it requires generating multiple new layers in lots of files.  So a keystroke that simultaneously creates a new layer and opens the dialog box would shave some time off.  Thoughts?

        Thanks; I think that will help!
