Dolphin has a „Copy address“ function: Ctrl+Alt+C. It will copy the absolute path of a file to the clipboard. Then you can use tab completion in the Dolphin terminal at the original file’s location and type: mv <Beginning of source file><Tab> and then insert the destination. This will at least save you from completion-tabbing through the destination directory. -- Grüße | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network. “She understands.
