I remember in the past the New Folder command created a folder but didn't enter that Folder.
I suggested at some point having a separate command "New Folder + Enter It" to bind shortcuts to. Perhaps others had suggested it too.
At some point the New Folder command actually became in practice New Folder + Enter in a sort of halfway position where it still showed the existing search results but selected the new folder ensuring it was in view, which was actually quite a clever approach to try to get the best of both worlds and actually proves to be quite useful for many tasks but in my experience created some new issues.
Then I'd also suggested a New Sibling Folder command to bind shortcuts to.
So summarising my experience so far, there does need to be more than one command available for making shortcuts to - as well as the existing "New Folder + focus it" that keeps the existing search results, then also a "New Sibling Folder + focus it", and I think that one would actually cater for the original idea of "New Subfolder but don't enter it" because the whole purpose of "don't enter it" is that you have a lot of search results (typically based upon the folder sidebar) and you want to subsort them into sibling subfolders so you create a folder, drag some items in, create another folder (sibling of the 1st), drag some in, etc until you sort them - which I do an enormous amount of - but this becomes awkward with the current arrangement since after dragging items in, any further subfolder you make now becomes a sub-subfolder rather than a sibling of the 1st one.
So the summary of this is that a "New Sibling Folder" (with focus) seems to solve everything, as far as I can see, I would definitely have shortcuts to both of them, though I wouldn't expect it would be required on the Menu...

Re: New Folder commands
I will consider a New Sibling Folder command.
Thank you for the suggestion.
