Public bug reported:

In file list mode, nautilus used to either have a paste option in the
titlebar menu or via a menu that could be opened from a "cog" symbol at
the right-hand top of its window (and for a while, via the right-click
menu if you right-clicked on whitespace instead of a file name).

But the only non-keyboard option I can find in nautilus
1:3.20.3-1ubuntu3.1 now is the right-click menu, but this is not
available when the nautilus window is full of filenames (as in the
attached screenshot), so pasting is impossible without the keyboard in
this case.

What happened to the "cog" menu? IIRC correctly this was present until
quite recently.
