For anyone ending up here, i lost this feature in 17.04 and need it:
quick fix found at https://askubuntu.com/questions/777711/create-new-
document-right-click-option-missing-in-ubuntu-gnome/791946
"
1. See if you have ~/Templates folder. Create one if it is missing using
command:
mkdir ~/Templates
2. Now create an empty file from command prompt:
touch ~/Templates/Text\ File.txt1
"Create Document" option is back again and you can create a new text
file or a new document.
1the backslash is used to tell the shell that the space following it is part of
the filename. Since the shell recognizes spaces are delimiters between
commands/options/arguments, unless you "quote it" 'quote it' or quote\ it, the
shell will treat whatever comes after the space as a separate argument.
