How To Create Template Documents
Introduction
After moving to Ubuntu one of the feature that I missed from Windows OS, we the ability to right click in any folder and create a new file. This article explains how to configure the feature in Nautilus, often called Files in the GNOME desktop environment (which Ubuntu uses by default).
Procedure
Any file you put in your ~/Templates folder will appear in the right-click "New Document" submenu in Nautilus.
Step 1 - Create Template File
Open a terminal and run
touch ~/Templates/Markdown.md
Step 2 - Test
Right-click in any folder in Files
Files > New Document > Markdown.md
That's it!. The "New Document" option appears in the context menu once the Templates folder has at least one file in it.
