I managed to add a text file to the templates after looking at this post:
How to create a new empty file / template file in Ubuntu 16.10 Desktop?

But, it creates a text file with the name provided.

Is it possible to create a new file, and then immediately after you create it, make it already in the renaming session? Just like when you right-click and create a new file on Windows

No. It would require writing a little nautilus script or python extension to achieve this, if one does not yet exist.

The right-click menu allows to create the file. The rename action is a separate step. A quick way to start the rename process is to hit F2.

The feature was requested, but no developer took interest in implementing this thus far.
