This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I’m curious how others feel.

    Ok but when do we get to change the drag and drop behavior so it just moves the folder instead of opening a menu

      Please do not change that, I love being able to copy via drag and drop instead of just moving because this way, my clipboard is not polluted unnecessarily

        I’m fine with a menu being there, just give me the option to make it go away by selecting a default or something.

        That single problem makes dolphin unusable for me because there isn’t a basic setting to make it behave like basically every other graphical file manager on any operating system.
