I agree with Christian A. Reiter. Having "Paste" and "Create new folder" always in the context menu is a bad workaround for the reasons Christian A. Reiter gave. A secundairy click should give a different context menu as when clicking some space next to, above or beneath the filename. Just like when doing a secundairy click on a hyperlink on a website. You only get the conext menu to open links in a new tab when clicking the hyperlink. Doing a secundairy click only 1mm next to, above or beneath the hyperlink gives you a completely other context menu. The same goes for Icon View and Compact View in Nautilus. A secundairy click on a filename gives you a completely other context menu compared to the context menu you get when doing a secundairy click next to, above or beneath a filename. The same goes for all views of the Explorer in Windows.
