Description Gregor Mi 2018-03-25 17:22:51 UTC 
When I drag a file without pressing any modifier key, there is a little PLUS icon next to the mouse cursor.

When I press Shift (Move) or Ctrl (Copy) or Ctrl+Shift (Link), this icon stays the same.

WISH: It would be nice if for Shift and Ctrl+Shift the PLUS icon would change into "move" icon or a "link" icon.

2002, a similar request was filed against konqueror: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45407

Here I get a cursor change: Dragging with Ctrl I get a plus icon, with Ctrl+Shift I get a link icon. The icon depends on what the target area accepts but dragging within Dolphin definitely changes cursors for me.

I use KDE Plasma 5.12.2. I tried again within Dolphin. Does not work. I will check again after an update.
Comment 3 Julian Steinmann 2018-04-28 17:11:26 UTC 
@Gregor Mi, were you able to test this again? It works fine for me with Dolphin 18.04.

right arrow when dragging with ctrl+shift

On my system I get a hand shaped cursor if I press and hold shift before drag the file. Dragging with ctrl I get a plus icon, with ctrl+shift I get a right arrow as my screnshot shows.

Arch Linux
plasma 5.12.5
frameworks 5.45
dolphin 18.04

For me the behavior of Dolphin is identical to the one @Dr. Chapatin described. @Gregor Mi, can you confirm that this issue is fixed with Dolphin 18.04?
Comment 6 Gregor Mi 2018-05-23 12:09:44 UTC 
I still have Dolphin 17.12.3. I'll report back when I got the new version.
Comment 7 Christoph Feck 2018-06-15 00:01:25 UTC 
Gregor, any update?
Comment 8 Julian Steinmann 2018-06-28 19:20:10 UTC 
It'd be great to get a quick update. Gregor, have you been able to upgrade and test this bug again?
Comment 9 Gregor Mi 2018-06-28 20:22:20 UTC 
Hi,
sorry for the delay. I still run Dolphin 17.12.3 on those machines I have regularly access to. I originally reported the bug for openSUSE Tumbleweed. Now, I tried with the Kubuntu machine with the same result.

But I tried something different now: I _first_ pressed the Shift key and then I started the mouse drag action. Result: I see no icon at all. With Ctrl key pressed first I still get the Plus icon; with Ctrl+Shift I get the blue right-arrow.

Thanks for the update; changing status.
