Okay this may seem weird, it's been 1 mounth i've been using RHEL7 and it's the first time I've noticed that the Right Click -> Create Empty file is not present, only create folder is there.
I've always, and still, used the touch command to achieve that but a friend using rhel7 in graphic mode most of the time encountered this?
Any idea about that? has this feature been removed in RHEL 7?
Thank you guys, I finally found out that creating an empty folder named Templates under home ~ and touching a file named new brought back the create new file with r-click.

What I've understood, is the fact that like its name indicates, the template folder can contain "Templates" of documents (or other files) that would be displayed in the context menu. If for example you create an empty LibreOffice Sheet file (with or without content), you'll find it in your right click menu.
