Right click menu in Nemo missing 'create shortcut' and 'copy/move to'

I recently did a clean install of Linux Mint 17.3 with Cinnamon on my machine.



Before the clean install, if I right clicked on a file or folder in nemo, the menu would have a 'create shortcut' option. Now after the clean install, that option isn't there. I've gone through the nemo preferences and I can't find any option to enable it.



After some searching I found out a keyboard shortcut for making file shortcuts in nemo (ctrl+shift+click and drag), but I'd much rather the more intuitive (and memorable) right click menu option.



Similarly, other right click options that are now missing are




  • copy to

    • other pane

    • home

    • Downloads

    • etc



  • move to

    • other pane

    • home

    • Downloads

    • etc


How can I get those options back as well?



I've tried searching through the Nemo preferences, but to no avail.

          When you right click the file or folder in Nemo, there will be a + sign at the top. Clicking that will expand the menu and give you the options you want.



          For what it's worth, I found this functionality at this link:

          • Yep, that works. I just assumed that + was to change the default 'open with' application, or something like that.

          • This doesn't work for creating link. When I want t create a link I want to select (copy) a file, go to destination then create a link. Right now this is more like right click to create a link, copy it, cut it (does nothing) go to the destination paste it (this automatically deletes the link). not intuitive at all

          You can drag the source file(s) over the target folder and press the ALT key (a small question mark appears). When you release the mouse button a pop-up menu appears including 'Link here'.
