Public bug reported:
Up until recently it was possible to create symbolic links in the GUI
with "Files" by performing a drag and drop operation with CTRL and SHIFT
pressed (or was it CTRL+ALT+SHIFT?) between two Nautilus windows or
tabs.
Now I can only move or copy files and directories. I tried several key
combinations, and the center button/mouse wheel, too. Neither of them
worked. So I have to create symlinks in the terminal to work around
this.
