How do I fix this

I have two panels going a left and a right.
When I select a file from the left to copy to the right
panel it's moving the file from the left over to
the right instead of coping it.
How do I fix this?

Because you hit the F6 key instead of F5.

I don't use the F keys for what I do.
I just drag the file from left to right and it copies it without losing the file on the left side

Well, believe me that if you start to use all the F keys and their combinations with CTRL & ALT, you will be much more productive then using a mouse.
Just hit F1 and when the help opens, go Shortcuts > Keyboard shortcuts. It requires a bit to get used to it, but when you do, it WILL speed up your workflow a lot.

Hey hi, please adjust your file manager setting to change the default behavior to copy instead of move when dragging files between panel.
