Thunar New Folder/Document Without 'Create New Folder/File' Dialog?

Hello XFCE/Thunar Users.

I am running Debian 9.4 (64-bit) with XFCE (version 4.12) and Thunar (version 1.6.11).

I wonder if it's possible to have Thunar create a new Folder or File (with editable Folder/File name) without Thunar displaying the usual 'Create New Folder/File' dialog box?

By this I mean, if I right-click on the Desktop (or within an open Directory) and select 'Create Folder/Document (Empty File)', rather than have Thunar show the 'Create New Folder/File' Dialog Box and prompt the user for a Folder/File name, can Thunar display the new Folder/File icon directly with an editable Folder/File name field immediately below the Folder/File icon (as is the case with File Managers such as Nautilus, Nemo, Caja, etc.)?

Thank you.

Hello and welcome.

It doesn't look like that part is configurable. Feel free to create an enhancement request at the bug tracker.
