Can we configure somehow - Left Mouse to move to other pane?

Post by Formingus »

Most of Times i move instead of Copy, Is there a way to configure it somehow so with dragging it to another pane to move files/folders?

The default on the same volume is Move,
Hold Ctrl while dragging and you have Copy.

The default betwen different volumes is Copy,
Hold Shift while dragging and you have Move.

I find it much easier to use the buttons for Copy or Move to other pane.
Thats one of the reasons having a 2 pane file manager.

Problem is that for me is much easier to use it with out CTRL - I am moving so much between Panels, so pressing the button becomes annoying.

Any idea about my question about how to solve it?

Not if your panes are sometimes on the same volume but sometimes not.
How about you get used to right drag and then select move?

As i say, using so much move functions that any other so-called solution instead of my request is useless.
The developer should implement it... Directory Opus have it for years
