Creating Files/Folders With Nautilus in List View

When Nautilus is in list view (more like treeview) when I right-click on a Folder, there's no option to create a File/Folder. When I right-click on a file within the folder, it also gives no option to create anything.

How do I create Files/Folders when viewing Nautilus in List View?

Actually the problem is the absence of 'white space' in nautilus in list view. On a windows OS, either list or detailed view you must click (right or left click) on the folder or folder name itself. So simply by moving the mouse to the right a little you can right click on white space and easily get to the 'create folder' option. In nautilus, the entire window is split into rows and columns, and clicking in any row will select the folder. So if you have more files than can be shown without scrolling, your sunk. This actually really ticks me off. This is a bug that should have been fixed years ago.

As far as I know this is normal behaviour since the menu is requiring you to take action on the folder itself. However if you right-click outside of the folder structure you will get the "Create Folder" menu.

If you have a folder selected you can still create a new folder by going to the File menu and selecting "Create Folder" or by pressing Shift+Ctrl+N. After you have created the folder you could just drag it into the parent folder.

I understand what you want to accomplish but as far as I know that behaviour does not exist in Ubuntu or any other OS.

EDIT: In new versions of Nautilus, just press "Shift-Ctrl-N"

In Nautilus (tried with version 3.22), for folder creation, you can press F10 and the space, or click in the new folder button (see screenshot).

The other workaround is to press Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2 to switch quickly between List and Grid view.

I agree this is a very annoying problem.

UPDATE: In Gnome 3.30.5, this solution doesn't work anymore because no window-menu has the "New Folder" action. However there are now better options.

1) Deselect any file (with Ctrl-Space) if necessary. 2) Press Shift-F10, and the contextual menu will appear 3) Select "New Folder"

Another, yet simpler option is to

1) Just press "Shift-Ctrl-N" to create a new folder
