I am limited by the subject's length... It should be: create folder, duplicate file or folder, or rename files.

How does it work?
The hotkey (I chose F12 and Shift+F12) is active only in Windows Explorer.
I chose simplicity, and detect the current path by reading the Edit1 control of Explorer (the address bar), it might fail in some cases. If you have the address bar of Explorer hidden, you might need to add DetectHiddenWindows On at the top of the script.
Or just activate it, it is so convenient!

I get the first selected item in the ListView of Explorer.
If no file nor folder is selected, it shows a dialog inputting a folder name, and creates it upon validation. Faster than using a slow menu...
If a folder is selected, for F12 (and Shift+F12) it shows a dialog proposing to duplicate the folder (the whole hierarchy) defaulting to the folder name.
If a file is selected, for F12 it shows a dialog proposing to duplicate the file, defaulting to the file name, separating name and extension to ease separate editing (tab to go to the extension field). And for Shift+F12, it shows a similar dialog to rename the file.
When duplicating, you can type * (in name or extension) to increment the name: if the file is foo.txt, it creates foo1.txt. If it is foo11.txt, it creates foo12.txt. If the destination name exists, it just increments again.

I use this to get a file in explorer:

This won't work on Vista and higher though.
