This is strange, that has been available for more than a decade in basically all UI file managers. Lets assume using Dolphin. Select files to copy move in one window, then 1) drag to second window 2) edit->copy (cut for move) in first window, edit ->paste in second 3) right click -> copy (cut), right click -> paste 4) CTRL+C (+X), CTRL+V or any combination of the last three. Works on local file systems and remotely (FTP, SFTP, WebDav, etc). Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
