Dragging files to subfolders

[sdqdlwq]

In TC: Dragging a file to a subfolder defaults to copying the file to that location.
Is it possible to change the default value from copy to move?
How do I change that default?
Thank you!

You may know it, but anyway: Holding down the 'ALT' key moves the file.

Ps. You wrote: give it a shot
My answer: gladly .

Yes, I know: holding down the ALT or Shift key while dragging and dropping will move the file.
However, I am using drag and drop more to move files than to copy them.
So I want the default to move the file when dragging and dropping.

Or holding down the the Shift-key.

Because when I use the drag and drop function, it is more about moving files than copying them.
So I would like to have an option to change the default value of the drag and drop function.
It is up to the user to set the default value of the drag and drop function to copy or move files according to their usage habits.

There must be already an thread in the Suggestions sub-forum, you may up-vote there.....

Fixed quotation.

Originally, I thought I could solve the problem by adding a "custom option (parameter)" to the wincmd.ini file.
Just now I tried to use right-click drag-and-drop files, and multiple options popped up.

The reason I didn't use right click drag and drop files before was because I had been using a global mouse gesture software.
When using the mouse gesture software, the right click does not enable the drag and drop file function.
The mouse gesture software is an important productivity software for me and I have no intention of giving it up at this time.

It seems I thought this problem simple.

My English is not very expressive, so I hope you can read it.

Thanks for all your replies and help!

I have the StrokeIt gesture and can still use right click drag and drop.
There is no intrinsic problem with drag and drop using such software.

Hello, thank you for your reply.

The gesture software I am using is StrokesPlus.net .
It seems that, with some complex code, it is possible to achieve the functionality you mentioned.
But it is very challenging for me.

Especially for a non-IT person like me, and not native English speaker.

In my part of the world, for indescribable reasons, I can't even use Google Translate.
One has to take certain steps to barely use Google Translate.

You can use D&D_MoveInsteadOfCopy.ahk for this:

Code: Select all

;———————————————————————————————————————————————
; Hold Shift when pressing LMB in TC file panels
;———————————————————————————————————————————————
#NoEnv
#NoTrayIcon
#KeyHistory, 0
SetBatchLines,-1

WinWaitClose, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
ExitApp

#IfWinActive ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
MouseGetPos,,,, control
If control = TMyListBox
{~LButton::
{  Send, {Shift down}
   KeyWait, LButton
   Send, {Shift up}
}
Return
}

Run it with autorun.wdx, where the entry in autorun.cfg will be like this:

Code: Select all

ShellExec /T "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Scripts\AutoHotKey\AutoHotkeyU%AUTORUN_OSARCH%.exe" '"%COMMANDER_PATH%\Scripts\AutoHotKey\D&D_MoveInsteadOfCopy.ahk"'

About the translation:

This is an unreliable translator. Install or unpack QTranslate, try different translators, display the best of them (for example, Microsoft) and configure the keyboard shortcuts for yourself.

Thank you very much.
Haven't been on the forum for a while for personal reasons.

You can use D&D_MoveInsteadOfCopy.ahk for this:

This script has a strange negative side effect.
While it runs, you can no longer use the Copy function key (F5)
It will try to copy a file to itself.

[Fla$her]

I can't confirm. On F5, this should not affect at all, only holding the LMB.
