Drag&drop toggle between move/copy
Posted: 2022-08-17, 17:34 UTC
I would appreciate the option to toggle whether drag&drop means copy or move.
I have seen topics about this in the past met with silly responses such as: "buy a better mouse" or "at least it's consistent unlike Windows" etc. Please refrain from such comments, thank you.
The issue with the current setup (move needing extra steps) is twofold:
1) it is simply a matter of convenience: having to press more buttons (shift/rmb) is tedious if you move a lot of files one by one
2) it is barely possible: I have a laptop and its touchpad is incapable of left and right click at the same time, and I have poor coordination - I would need an extra hand to reach for shift while holding down left mouse button with one hand and moving the cursor with my right hand.
I think this is a very reasonable feature request because there is no "right" way to make the default and only option (as copy is now) - it all depends on whether you move or copy more often. This is my first real unsolvable issue in years of using TC.
