How to enable file creation from nautilus right-click menu on Gnome?
I have got Ubuntu Gnome 15.04, with Gnome Shell, and Gnome 3.14, and I have noticed that unlike with Unity, Nautilus does not have the option to create different files with a right-click, just the ability to create a new folder. How can I add this option?

Solution 1:
Create a new (empty) file with the file type of your choice in ~/Templates
, eg a simple (txt) file:
touch ~/Templates/empty.txt
After that you can create a new file with a right click in Nautilus.
