Parent -> Paste is not needed

Parent -> Paste is not needed, heh - potentially.


So I was going to do a RFE, something along the lines of...

Code: Select all

rfe:  Parent Paste

	-  Shift+INS to paste to "current working directory(ies)"
	if diff dir, copy to
	if same dir, name (copy) ...
	
	this would do the same as Parent Paste, except bypass the need for mouse,
	& the prompt of the directory to paste into
	(as it would just paste into the cwd, focused directory)

And guess what, that RFE is not needed - because all the wanted abilities are already there.
And depending on what you are doing, it is FAR more convenient to use keyboard shortcuts to accomplish.


So CUT or Copy something(s), & select your wanted output directory(ies) & paste (Shift+INS) .


(Now why I never tried this, ages ago, I'll never know.)

I recommend against documentation that specifically advises uses of Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert, as those are deprecated (obsolete but still functioning) key bindings from Windows 3.1. The correct documentation should focus on Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and Ctrl+X per Microsoft, with Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins as an afterthought in the footnotes.

I'm not sure what an RFE is, but the internet says Request For Evidence.

I think we should keep the menu driven functions since not everyone knows or uses keyboard combos or hotkeys. Casual users especially.

Shift + INS will paste into the selected item (not the parent)
It's exactly the same as Ctrl + V


Ctrl + INS will copy the selected item (not the parent)
Same as Ctrl + C

To my way of thinking, Request for Feature Enhancement.
