Easy and light script to automate adding a context menu to Nautilus / Gnome Files to create a new document.
** Built in GNOME nautilus 3.22.3; not tested in other versions. **
Likely will not work in 3.26 as Nautilus is removing desktop icons. If you use Debian/Ubuntu-based distros (and haven't updated yet) you can disable Nautilus from getting this update:
apt-mark hold nautilus
If you already updated, simply downgrade the Nautilus package and run that command to prevent it from updating.
To use:
- Either download the zip -or- clone the Not a Bug code repository.
- (If zip): unzip the archive
- In your terminal, navigate to the directory where the files are located, then run:
./automate.sh ...and the script will put the needed files in place for your context menu.
If you need help, or want to contribute improvements to the script, please open an issue (or pull request) on Not a Bug: https://notabug.org/angela/nautilus-right-click-new-file/issues

Cleaned up file prefixes; no structural changes from v1.0. If you already have the context menu, upgrading won't be useful to you.

So in order for my script to work, you'd either need to be running an older version ,or downgrade the Nautilus package.
Debian is still running 3.22
