Holding down SHIFT, CTRL or ALT when creating a new item should automatically create it with default values

I don't know if this would be dangerous, but how about:

shift-click on the (+) symbol (new sample, new extract, new scan etc) will create the new object with the default settings

in other words it would be equivalent to clicking on the (+) and then immediately clicking on 'save'.

The sensible choice of default protocols and other menu items (project defaults or recently used) seems to be working well for me. Thanks.
