Description esperluette08 2024-12-03 17:37:12 UTC
SUMMARY
Dragging a file when pressing Ctrl+Shift (to link it) displays the "move" (green cross) cursor instead of "link" cursor.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Drag a file
2. Press Ctrl+Shift during dragging

OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor is still the same "move" cursor.

EXPECTED RESULT
The cursor should be the "link" cursor.

Hi - on my system, Ctrl+Shift shows a white-on-green cursor that is the same as Ctrl alone (or no modifier keys), the "Copy" indication (even though to your point, it does actually function as the Link shortcut). Shift alone shows the "Move" cursor, which is a hand that looks like it's grabbing something.

Is that what you're seeing as well? (If so, I'll just adjust the title of this to reflect that Ctrl+Shift is showing the "Copy" cursor, even though Shift does adjust the cursor as you'd expect)

Thanks!

Hi John,

Yes, I was wrong, it's the "copy" (white "+" on green circle) by default, and when pressing "Ctrl".
But this is also this "copy" cursor when pressing,  "Ctrl+Shift", when it should display the "link" cursor.
When pressing "Shift", the cursor is the grabbing/closed hand, as expected.

Got it, thanks for confirming!
