Feature: Right Mouse Click DragDrop ContextMenu for Copy/Move

[cocoon]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

I am very often using the explore right mouse dragdrop context menu to copy file and folders etc. Would be cool to have this feature and an option to enable/disable it, too.

Requirements

Files Version

2.3.11.0

Windows Version

10.19043.1899

Merging here requests for having ctrl and shift keys change the drop action.

• Ctrl+Drag should copy the file
• Shift+Drag should move the file (in situations where copy is the default)
• Alt+Drag should create a shortcut to the file in the new location

How does the feature work in File Explorer?

Hold right click and drag when on a File or folder. then it opens a context menu when you let go

Additionally, In right drag context menu, some applications insert these own menus. It is very convenient especially you are using archivers like 7-Zip. e.g.Right Drag an archive file to drop Extraction target directory. or Right Drag some items to some directory that output as archive file.

Suggestion: Add an option to make the completed Status center tasks auto-disappear after a while. When I perform a lot of file manipulations, it costs a lot of clicks to often open the Status center, clear all tasks, close it.

This issue is not for that. We have similar report on that, adding support to have a setting to hide it completely. #15183

For future reference: we can check the modifiers to see if the right button is pressed.

if (e.Modifiers == DragDropModifiers.RightButton)
