What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

I am very often using the explore right mouse dragdrop context menu to copy file and folders etc.
Would be cool to have this feature and an option to enable/disable it, too.

Merging here requests for having ctrl and shift keys change the drop action.

  • Ctrl+Drag should copy the file
  • Shift+Drag should move the file (in situations where copy is the default)
  • Alt+Drag should create a shortcut to the file in the new location

Additionally, In right drag context menu, some applications insert these own menus. It is very convenient especially you are using archivers like 7-Zip. e.g.Right Drag an archive file to drop Extraction target directory. or Right Drag some items to some directory that output as archive file.
