Simple way to create a folder when nautilus file list is full of items

It is a question of Nautilus file manager of Ubuntu 18.04. Is there a simple way to create a Folder when file list is full of items?


It has always been in the application menu, but it's been turned into an icon:

Application menu with New Folder icon highlighted

There is, of course, the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+N but some of us aren't always on a physical keyboard these days.


Have you considered using Nautilus default shortcuts?

-New folder is: Shift+Ctrl+N

You can see all the shortcuts and configure them here->

Here in this image


Click the "hamburger" menu button (three horizontal bars or dots) at the top right. A dialog should pop up. Click the button with "create new folder" symbolic icon.

Yet another keyboard-only option, besides the Control+Shift+n hotkey, is to press Ctrl+F10 followed by f.

Ctrl+F10 shows you the same right-click menu you get when right-clicking an empty space in the file manager.

It appears indeed to be impossible to get to that menu with a mouse right-click when the list is full.
