Description promike1987 2023-11-13 17:44:33 UTC 
### Bug Description:
When items are placed in the Trash, the right-click context menu lacks the options to copy or cut the files. The available options are limited to "Restore" and "Delete." While the drag and drop method is a viable alternative, the absence of traditional copy/cut options in the context menu may inconvenience users who prefer or are accustomed to those methods.

### Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move a file or folder to the Trash.
2. Right-click on the item in the Trash.

### Expected Behavior:
In the right-click context menu, there should be options for "Copy" or "Cut" in addition to "Restore" and "Delete."

### Actual Behavior:
The right-click context menu in the Trash only provides options for "Restore" and "Delete," omitting the traditional "Copy" and "Cut" options.

### Additional Information:
- The drag and drop method can be used as a workaround, but users may expect to find the copy/cut options directly in the context menu.
- Confirming the behavior on Archlinux, Kde Plasma Version 5.27.8, Dolphin 28.08.1
Comment 1 TraceyC 2024-10-01 18:17:34 UTC 
This seems like a small, reasonable addition to the right click menu
Notably, the shortcuts for copy / cut / paste still work in the Trash folder.

Also see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493808 which is related, but the user wants different functionality to be (re)added to the Trash right click menu
They point out the actions available in the menu are inconsistent with the hamburger menu

Add context menu items to Trash view and items

Sort by and View mode are already available through hamburger menu; cut and copy are already available through shortcuts
