Public bug reported:
In Nautilus 3.15.x create symbolic links ("make link") was removed from
the context menu (not sure why?). The alternate method with middle-
click/drag does not work with mouse-less device (laptops/netbooks) and
the other alternate method, which involves mouse, keyboard and three
fingers simultaneously, is very inconvenient for normal users and has
bugs.
And It doesn't look like upstream is keen to get back this option very
soon. For LTS, its a major regression and Ubuntu should patch it until
they do.
