Copy and move functions read the location from addressbar to complete their actions.

• Verification dialogs to "Copy to..." and "Move to..." : No final action should be performed without user's acceptance.

Notice. If user cancels from any of the above dialogs then "Select for copying or moving" action needs to be redone.

This filemanager is made with Python3 and QT5. It intends to be a simple and lightweight.

Sequence FM new features (since 6.0)

New very important keys:

• Control (Ctrl), is now a key for selecting objects for copying/moving/deleting.
• ESC is now a buffer cleaner: Control adds files to the buffer (to wait for actions); ESC clears this buffer.

New integrated features:

- Delete key support
- Delete multiple objects
- Trash support added.(trash folder will be created inside user´s home directory)
- Move multiple objects.
- Copy multiple objects.
- Statusbar added. 
- Permanent delete support added.

Notice that if you move, copy or trash a file that already has an identically named counterpart on the upcoming location, you will end up loosing the older object (present before your actions counterpart) from the upcoming location.

Removed features:

• Direct terminal command support: This came out looking like a potential security issue. It was removed from the Gui but remains as a possibility within the code.
