Hello,
Within GWorkspace (1.10) The command (Alt) key does not tranform a
"moving file" action (executed with the mouse) to a "copying file"
action: but it makes the pointer to become a "forbidden" icon and so
the desired action fails.
Do you note the same behaviour ?
No, I do not have this behaviour and it works for me: copying, linking,
moving are indicated by the cursor icon and react to key modifiers. Note
that "move" is the default (green arrow). Copy and Link have dedicated
modifiers and actions. There are some glitches in determining a move on
mounted systems (while e.g. on windows C: and D: are easily identified
as separate and requiring a copy), but this affects only the default
expected action compared to mac and win.
I extra "fixed" this in February and is included in latest release 1.1.0
- however you need up-to-date gui too for it to work well.
Furthermore, you might have to tweak modifiers on certain keyboards
(e.g. if you have Alt Gr, you do not have proper Left-Alt and Right-Alt
which is the default US mapping). You can do that in SystemPreferences.
You might also want to check that your window manager doesn't "eat"
certain modifiers.
E.g. windowmaker might have assigned a modifier to alt-drag windows. In
that case, instead of file action you see the window move.
