How to fix the issue of moving files instead of copying in a dual-panel file manager?

Post by riceadam »

Hi everyone,
I’m using a dual-panel file manager, with one panel on the left and one on the right. When I select a file from the left panel to copy to the right panel, instead of copying, the file gets moved from the left to the right. This is causing problems because I don’t always want to move the file, I only want to copy it.
I’ve tried using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V but the issue persists. Is there any way to change the default action so that the file is copied instead of moved?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
