Default Put selected tracks in a folder?

I've read countless topics, but yet to find the "right answer". How do I make a bunch of selected tracks go into a folder with the option to rename it?

In the various options I've found, its always using one of the tracks as the folder, but I need to make use the parent as a bus and keep all the selected tracks as its childs. Optimally there would be a popup asking for the name of the parent, but I'm not sure that's doable in Reaper.

# Ensure that all the tracks you want to put in the folder are in a row, with no non-folder tracks between them.

# Make a new track. This will be your folder. Give it any name you like. Place it to the left of the child tracks.

# Click the folder icon on the new track once - "Track is folder".

# Click the folder icon on the last (furthest right) child track twice - "Track is last track in folder,"

Is there a smart way to put this into key commands (cycle actions), so it can be done by just selecting the tracks that will enter the new folder?
