How to create a new folder on List view on nautilus?

Use the File->New Folder or the Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut.

Under the File menu you can find the New Document option as well.

Reference to the answer in https://askubuntu.com/a/550425/384849, here is another work around to trigger the right click menu in the list view.

You can press the Option key on the keyboard or Ctrl+F10 when no file is highlighted in the list view.

When there is a file highlighted, this is an easy way I found to deselect it. You can randomly input a few characters. Nautilus will enter the searching mode. Once there isn't a filename matching the characters you typed in, there will be no fill selected. Then press esc to exit, and you can press the Option key to trigger the menu right now.

Or, you can go one directory up then come down again to deselect the file.
