I'd even optimize that to skip the "do you want to add it to the project?" question, so the filename is all you have to type in.  99% of the time, it is rather useless to ask whether to add the file to the project.
Either, you have no project at all, then obviously you can't do it anyway. Or, you are working on a project, then you most probably want the file to be added.

Fewer keystrokes are always nice, although I suppose some out there may need that fine level of control.
I just think that if a have a filename.h in my project and a I type f{tab]) ( assuming that no other files being with f) and filename.cpp doesn't exist) it should know that I meant filename.cpp or at the very least not filename.h again.
