Copy/move by dragging with Ctr/Shift key held down

Hallo,
I would appreciate if it would be possible to copy/move files by dragging with Ctr/Shift key held down the same way as it is possible in Windows Explorer. Some times I find this faster than opening the destination in the other window.
Best regards - Ulrich

Have you tried ?  It is already possible.
If you hold shift while dragging a file to a new location it will be a Move, Holding Ctrl and it will be a Copy.

Sempervivum:
Hallo Mathias,
thank you for your answer. Yes I tried it: I first pressed the Ctr/Shift key and then clicked and dragged the file and then it didn't work. After reading your post I tried again and found out that I have to first klick the file and then press the Ctrl/Shift key. If I do it in this order, it works fine. However, I would appreciate if both worked!
Best regards - Ulrich

I'd say there is something odd about your setup. The described action works exactly as it should for me.
It makes no difference whether the modifier key is pressed first or second, the combined key/mouse action does as it should.

Hallo,
I reinstalled MC and the problem still exists. I could locate it a little more precisely: Only when the file is selected when the dragging is started, it doesn't work. When it is not, everything works fine.
