moving files

Post by kjnkfgb »

1.) Is there a setting i can change to make a "paste here" possible from the right-click menu of folders? Or alternatively, can i make drag and drop operation always be "move", no matter if the target folder is on a different drive?
2.) Can i set some default behaviour for filename conflicts while moving files, like instructing it to rename all, or, ideally, to rename unless the conflicting files are identical?
(Until now i have only found the option to rename file by file, which is also buggy, because the new name it suggests by default is exactly the old conflicting one. i would have to change it by hand )
Thank you!

  1. “Show default Windows Explorer context menu - Ctrl+RMB” (All Current Hotkeys / Shortcuts)
  2. You might want to add your support to the request for an “Auto Rename” feature.

ctrl+right mouse button does the same as right mouse button alone.

Ctrl+Right click works good here - in browser.

Hold Shift while dragging.
