How to adjust so to when moving file into some folder with mouse(on
example windows explorer; moving file from left side into folder on the
list of folders on the right side), on way that file bacame cuted and
not copied, how to adjust that ?
The file always stays copied and i would like it to be moved in whole.
Thanks.
Here are a few methods:
1: hold down ctrl/shift/alt key while you left-drag to get
copy/move/create shortcut. A small icon may appear near the
cursor to let you know what it will do (a small plus for copy,
a small arrow for create shortcut, and nothing for a move).
2: Drag the file with the right button instead of the left button
it should then ask what you want to do (copy/move/create shortcut)
If you realize that you have chosen the wrong destination,
you can also select cancel
3: Right-click on the file first, and select cut or copy from the
drop-down menu that should appear, then right-click on the
destination and select paste from the drop-down menu.
4: Select (highlight) the file, then press ctrl-c/ctrl-x to copy/cut,
then select (highlight) the destination and press ctrl-v to paste.
Note that the source and destination do not both have to be in view
at once to do it this way - you can select the file and action, then
navigate to somewhere totally different before you select paste to
complete the operation.
All of the above will get you more predictable results than a left button
drag-and-drop.
1-2-3-4 increase in likelyhood of you getting the action that you want
and decrease in likelyhood of accidentally copying/moving the file to an
unintended destination.
#4 can be done totally via the keyboard (no mouse required)
You can combine #3 and #4 - use the mouse or keyboard to select the file
and action desired (copy/move), then use either the mouse or keyboard to
select the destination and paste to complete the operation.
