Well, lucky me!. After my comment on Bugzilla they pushed a patch which adds an option in the context menu.
https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=0eef08686f520caf3700bff4f9b371fa780dba88 and https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=2dec1b3f2d9003b05eb1656967e50b0337cf6808 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1527837 Title: "Make Link" operation missing from context menu(Unity7, Xenial) Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In Nautilus 3.15.x create symbolic links ("make link") was removed from the context menu (not sure why?). The alternate method with middle-click/drag does not work with mouse-less device (laptops/netbooks) and the other alternate method, which involves mouse, keyboard and three fingers simultaneously, is very inconvenient for normal users and has bugs. And It doesn't look like upstream is keen to get back this option very soon. For LTS, its a major regression and Ubuntu should patch it until they do. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745575 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1527837/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
