SUMMARY
***
Dragging 'n dropping a file opens a menu asking the user what to do with the file (move, copy or link). Holding ctrl, shift, or ctrl-shift does not change this behavior. Having to choose what to do with a file EVERY time I simply drag it, (instead of simply moving it) is already bad enough, but bearable if able to modify the drag behavior with keys.  Not being able to change / circumvent this by using keyboard is so counterproductive, that makes me want to switch distro. Please help
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
drag and drop a file from withing a dolphin window, while holding ctrl, shkft or ctrl-shift

OBSERVED RESULT
a pop-up menu appears, asking whether you want to move, copy, or create a link of the file

EXPECTED RESULT
the file should just be copied / moved / made into a link
