I'd like to thank all who contribute in development of this magnificent program; I am testing v7 for my private use, and I'd like to see one feature I've been seeing on Linux file managers.
From time to time I have to select all files in foder and drag'em to the top of the file view window to drop'em to upper-level directory. When I do just that, the files are copied there, when I hold SHIFT, files are moved there.
On Linux I was using one similar file manager which, when just dragged'n'dropped files to upper-level folder, a menu poped-up with selections of "Copy to..." or "Move to...", which I find easier to deal with, rather than pressing the shift key while dragging files to just move files there.
I feel like a fool now. Works with clicking right mouse button before releasing left mouse... but I can't drag'em with rmb, because I get explorer menu/deselect the files.

Dragging with the right mouse button and pressing shift at the same time, you are actually performing a "move" task, right? When you release the right mouse button the menu appears but the copy option is bold. Shouldn't the move option be bold instead?

Normally using latest TC on:
x32: WinXPx32 SP3 (very rarely nowadays).
x64: Clients/Servers - Win10/Win11 and Win2K16 to Win2K22, mainly Win10 though.

Yes I guess altering the default entry when shift is pressed is a good idea.

Only when you RELEASE the mouse button while shift is pressed. I'm talking about PRESSING the mouse button down while shift is pressed. You can release shift before dropping the file.

Yes, that's the case i'm talking about. In that case, before displaying the menu, it would be nice if the "move" option became bold instead of letting the "copy be bold". It's a little detail but it would be nice.

Because i do moving more the copying.
Before dropping the file press the right mouse button in addition and you'll move the file(s) instead of copy. No need to press any key for that.
And in TC that works across partitions/drives, too (contrary to explorer).

This works in TC7 only. Very neat.
Sorry that I have to correct you but you are wrong. This works already with Total Commander Version 5.50.
