Holding down CTRL or SHIFT while dragging will modify the behavior.Laughing Man wrote:Is there any option to change it from copying to moving?

Even in Win Expl, I could never keep track of which key was which, so I got used to right-click there to make choice of move/copy correctly when I drag a file...JustinF wrote:Holding down CTRL or SHIFT while dragging will modify the behavior.
It's not that dificult: "Shift" = "Move", isn't that almost the same meaning in English?j_c_hallgren wrote:Even in Win Expl, I could never keep track of which key was which, so I got used to right-click there to make choice of move/copy correctly when I drag a file...JustinF wrote:Holding down CTRL or SHIFT while dragging will modify the behavior.

Well, part of the/my problem was/is that it depends on where one is dragging the file what the default behavior is, ok? When dragging to another drive (without click or keys), it's a copy, but to same drive it's a move, true?...and yes, the icon does change to indicate which, but as I don't often move or copy files (sometimes only every few days), and just couldn't keep the Shift vs Cntl straight in my mind, I gave up!admin wrote: "Shift" = "Move", isn't that almost the same meaning in English?
Well, default behavior might differ yes, but you could force yourself never to use it and always hold Ctrl or Shiftj_c_hallgren wrote:Well, part of the/my problem was/is that it depends on where one is dragging the file what the default behavior is, ok?
