    Is there a program or add on that allows to download pictures by doing this?

    Press a key (ctrl or any other one) then click on a picture on a web browser to download it to a folder on your computer?

    Yes, but with out having to right click. And only having to choose where to save it once.

    I suppose you could find something that would allow you to define a custom hotkey macro, and then reset the default save location for your browser to your preferred location.

    Never mind I forgot you could just drag images to a folder on your computer.
    Thanks for the help though.
