Description Shriramana Sharma 2011-06-21 05:10:58 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

In other two-pane file managers (like xplorer2 on Windows) we have the highly convenient feature of being able to copy/move the selected files from the current pane to the other pane by a shortcut. If actions for this are added to Dolphin, then shortcuts could be assigned.

This is the biggest thing I miss on Dolphin when I boot up into KDE after logging out of Windows. I presume it's an easy thing to fix for those in the know, and that it can be quickly fixed therefore. Thanks!

This is possibly related to wishlist bug 171292 and maybe even bug 260266.

Reproducible: Always

Since there are several duplicates of this bug and this feature is requested: is there any update on this?
Comment 8 Christoph Feck 2018-03-01 01:49:28 UTC
No, this ticket is still open and looking for a developer to implement it.
Comment 9 Hoptank 2019-11-19 11:46:34 UTC
I would love to see this implementated.  Like the original author I've become used to seeing this functionality in other two-pane file managers.


- Add optional tool bar buttons to "copy to other pane" and "move to other pane".  This would copy or move the selected files from the folder shown in the current pane to the folder shown in the other pane without additional prompting.

- Add the ability to assign shortcut keys to "copy to other pane" and "move to other pane".

Regards.

I've started working on this, but have a very annoying bug atm.

Stay tuned!
