+How To Add ‘New Document’ Option In Right Click Context Menu In Ubuntu 18.04

+![Add 'New Document' Option In Right Click Context Menu In Ubuntu 18.04 GNOME desktop][1]
+
+The other day, I was collecting reference notes for [**Linux package managers**][2] on various online sources. When I tried to create a text file to save those notes, I noticed that the ‘New document’ option is missing in my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS desktop. I thought somehow the option is gone in my system. After googling a bit, It turns out to be the “new document” option is not included in Ubuntu GNOME editions. Luckily, I have found an easy solution to add ‘New Document’ option in right click context menu in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS desktop.
+
+As you can see in the following screenshot, the “New Doucment” option is missing in the right-click context menu of Nautilus file manager.

+
+If you want to add this option, just follow the steps given below.
+
+### Add ‘New Document’ Option In Right Click Context Menu In Ubuntu
+
+First, make sure you have **~/Templates** directory in your system. If it is not available create one like below.
+
+```
+$ mkdir ~/Templates
+```
+
+Next open the Terminal application and cd into the **~/Templates** folder using command:
+
+```
+$ cd ~/Templates
+```
+
+Create an empty file:
+
+```
+$ touch Empty\ Document
+```
+
+Or,
+
+```
+$ touch "Empty Document"
+```
+
+![][4]
+
+Now open your Nautilus file manager and check if “New Doucment” option is added in context menu.

+
+As you can see in the above screenshot, the “New Document” option is back again.
+
+You can also additionally add options for different files types like below.
+
+```
+$ cd ~/Templates
+
+$ touch New\ Word\ Document.docx
+$ touch New\ PDF\ Document.pdf
+$ touch New\ Text\ Document.txt
+$ touch New\ PyScript.py
+```
+
+![][6]
+
+Add options for different files types in New Document sub-menu
+
+Please note that all files should be created inside the **~/Templates** directory.
+
+Now, open the Nautilus and check if the newly created file types are present in “New Document” sub-menu.
+
+![][7]
+
+If you want to remove any file type from the sub-menu, simply remove the appropriate file from the Templates directory.
+
+```
+$ rm ~/Templates/New\ Word\ Document.docx
+```
+
+I am wondering why this option has been removed in recent Ubuntu GNOME editions. I use it frequently. However, it is easy to re-enable this option in couple minutes.
