Idea #7819: Enable drag&right click

Description

Drag & right click (this is, you click on an item an drag it to another location, such as a different folder, where it appears a popup menu with several options, mainly "Copy to" or "Move to") is not available in Ubuntu 8.04. This option would be quite useful, since offers a very easy way to choose if you want to copy or move a file (there are other possibilities, also).

I agree this should be possible!

As of now, there is no simple way of making a link to a folder or document on the desktop! What I had to do was :
1) Left-click the destination folder
2) Drag to the desk
3) Press Alt
4) Release the mouse button
5) Choose 'Link Here'

This is really clumsy.

Yeah. More of a GNOME "issue", but still. I kind of miss this as well.

It's there, use middle click :)

(if you're on a 2 button mouse then middle click can be emulated by pressing both buttons at the same time)
