Title:
  Deficiency:  Files Command – "New Folder" option not always available

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This issue may not be actually be a “bug” since it is possible this is
  working as the developer intended.  If this is in fact the case AND
  assuming that I am not missing something, I consider this to be a
  deficiency which should be addressed, if not as a bug fix, at least as
  a near-term enhancement.

  The issue – if the right panel of the Files window is completely filled (top-to-bottom) with folders/files
  there is no “empty space” in this pane.  As such, it is not possible to right-click to bring a menu which includes an option to create a “New Folder”.   (This option is available if there is any “empty space” in the pane.)  Seeing this, it was not at all intuitive as how to create a new folder in this scenario.  

  I thought that perhaps the “New Folder” option might be available if I
  clicked on the icon in the very upper left corner of the Files window
  – but it is not there either.  After doing some experimentation with
  keyboard shortcuts, I found that I could get a “New Folder” popup by
  doing “Ctrl+Shift+N”.   Incidentally, clicking on the small icon in
  the upper left corner of the Files window, the “Keyboard Shortcuts”
  popup does not include the “Ctrl+Shift+N” in the help text for the
  shortcuts.
