Actually, now that it has a timeout you have at least some chance of hitting
what you want.

I don't think this operation should pop up on hover at all - it is not that
important. I was thinking about a small "New" popup menu when user clicks "+"
or "Insert" or win? Cmd+N would be too much I guess.
