Total Commander

Can't TC intercept Ctrl+V (paste) and show the Copy/Move/Pack dialog (at least a simplified version of it)?

Personally I find it a must-have thing in some future version...

What do you think?

Hm, optionally would be OK - sometimes this is desireable, sometimes not.
Right now Ctrl-C/V gives you the chance to optionally use explorer copy method everywhere you want.
I thought about if I really want to let explorer do the copying, too.

But I came to the conclusion, that Explorer's Ctrl-V does most of what I expect from it:
Placing the copied file into the target dir, without the need of dialog boxes or a second window.
A progress bar is there with "time left" info, even junctions seem to be treated correctly
(in contrast to deleting, where Explorer fails, at least before Windows V1sta).

What's missing is the ability of copying/moving comments with the files.
Was that your motivation for this feature? Or do you need options when placing files with Ctrl-V?

I'm looking for a similar function.
I usually use Ctrl-C/V if I want to make a copy of a file in the same folder. I do this if I want to edit the copy and keep the original file unchanged.
If I have many files in the folder it's a nuisance that the original file is called e.g. "zebra.txt" and the copy will have the name "copy of zebra.txt". In that case I have to scroll up in the list, locate the correct file and rename it into "zebra2.txt" before editing.
It would be great if there was a possibility to intercept Ctrl-C/V in a way so that the copy will automaticall be called e.g. "zebra copy.txt" instead of "copy of zebra.txt" (so that the first letter stays the same and I don't have to do a lot of scrolling).
This function might seem a bit exotic but actually I am confronted with this situation on a daily basis.

Try Shift+F5.

Good idea.
