Moving files via drag and drop works works mostly fine when holding the SHIFT key. (Without SHIFT it's a copy operation instead.) However, I figured out a case where it is not working. 1. Drag a files and move the mouse cursor to the destination. 2. Press the SHIFT key. 3. Release the mouse button without any(!) movement since pressing the SHIFT key. Following these steps will perform a copy instead of a file movement. Workaround: Move the mouse at least one pixel after pressing the SHIFT key. Then the expected file-move-operation will perform.
Confirmed on both X11 and Wayland with Dolphin 17.12.x, 17.08.x, and 17.04.x.

It seems this is a bug in Qt. For some reason the QDropEvent sets Qt::CopyAction rather than Qt::MoveAction as the drop action, when using two different processes.

Any chance this will be fixed? Annoying - years passed with this bug while it is a standard file manager operation and strange it appears at all and exists for years.

I'm going to assume this has been fixed in recent versions of Qt or the platform integration plugin. If anyone can still reproduce it, what's your Qt and Plasma version?

I'm using Qt 5.15 beta on Arch Linux. On Wayland all modifiers work as expected. On X11 only shift works as expected. If I press crtrl+shift or ctrl then release the mouse button without any cursor movement, the dragged file is copied to destination.

Shift (move) and ctrl+shift (link) copy the file to destination.
> Shift (move) and ctrl+shift (link) copy the file to destination. Exactly!
(In reply to Patrick Silva from comment #16) > I'm using Qt 5.15 beta on Arch Linux. > On Wayland all modifiers work as expected. Well, this is weird, but all modifiers stopped working as expected on Wayland after reboot/relogin. lol Now ctrl and shift keys open the context menu and ctrl+shift copies the dragged file to destination.
This is partially fixed with Qt 5.15, and the remaining bits are fixed with https://phabricator.kde.org/D28017
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #20) > https://phabricator.kde.org/D28017 Were fixing this for 7 years????!!!! Just "Great"!
Thanks for the fix BTW! :)
Fixed on X11. :) But it's still broken on Wayland. :( dolphin 20.03.80 built from sources Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 beta2
