When you add new assets or files in Canvas, the data is added to an area of the Canvas where there are no objects, and the focus moves to that location.
While this is great in that it ensures the added data doesn’t interfere with the existing Canvas layout, the following sequence of events occurs every time, which can be cumbersome.
① Add new data
② The data is added to an area without any objects, and the screen focus automatically shifts there (since the location where the data is added is usually quite far from the main screen, the focus also shifts significantly away from the main screen)
③ Move the added data to where you actually want to place it (because the focus from step ② is significantly away from the main screen, you have to move the data a long way to position it, which is quite a hassle)

Therefore, is there a way to add data to a location that makes step ③ as easy as possible for the user?
