how to modify or disable mouse drag & drop gestures

Post by abc550 »

Hello,

As I use a so-called stickpoint mouse at my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad and Toshiba feature), I've confirmed for myself for many weeks, that disadvantages of accidentally copying or moving files with Drag & Drop outweighs the benefits of this feature. Moving files back into their original places has got a real trouble for me. So is the any option to disable this feature. Or, even better, to add some additional key to the combination, say, Ctrl+M+LMB for copying and Shiftl+M+LMB for moving or something like this.

Thanks!

There are some options in Configuration > Extended > Safety Belts, that may help.

Do you mean the option "Confirm drag and drop" in the middle section of the Extended tab? Yes, it's just the think I needed. Thanks!

Yes, I do... But sometime I forgot it. Thank you for reminder!

However the option "Confirm drag and drop" is better solution for me then running Undo afterr every second operation :wink:
