Moving files

The default action for drag and drop in the GNOME File Manager is
to move files. But you can also use drag and drop to copy a file
by pressing the <keycap>SHIFT</keycap> key while dragging the
file(s). This will work the same for any files you drag to the
desktop.
The default action for dragging and dropping files between the GNOME File
Manager and the desktop is to move them. But you can also use drag and drop
to copy a file by pressing the <keycap>SHIFT</keycap> key while dragging the
file(s). You can also drag a file within the file manager to another
directory. Select the file in the main window and drag it to the desired
directory in the tree window. Note, however, that when dragging to the tree
window the default action is to copy the file. As you drag the file to the
tree window, you will see a plus sign appear to remind you that theh file
will be copied. You can also use drag and drop to copy directories the same
way as you did for files. Again note the plus sign signifying that the
directory will be copied, not moved.
