How to enable 'New Document' option without pre-set name?
When you right-click on an empty space, there's the option to create a new folder. Old versions of Ubuntu used to include the option to create a new text document as well, but now you need to enable this manually by creating a file in /home/Templates. However, this way the document will always have a pre-set name, so that you need to right-click it again and rename it. Is it possible to restore the original way it was, i.e. you chose the name just after you clicked "New Document", exactly like the "New Folder" button?
