Altap Salamander Support Forums

To make the change from Total Commander to Servant Salamander easier, an option to define the default action when dragging a file between panels would be great.

In TC, dragging a file from one panel to another means copy, not move.
To move, SHIFT or ALT has to be pressed additionally.

Servant Salamander uses the standard Windows Explorer conventions.

When you drag files to the same disk, the default action is MOVE.
When you drag files to another disk, the default action is COPY.

Keyboard modifiers:
Ctrl -> COPY
Shift -> MOVE
Ctrl+Shift -> MAKE SHORTCUT

The default behaviour should be like that, of course.

I just wanted to say, if an option would be intruduced, like the one for "remove read-only attrib when copy from CD", then it would be a great deal for those who are changing from Total Commander.

When working for years with a specific behaviour, you get used to it and cannot switch over to something else in zero time, so a little help might be a good reason to make the switch to Servant Salamander.
