Hi, user coming from Windows and OSX here. I actually reached this bug when
searching for "kde disable context menu when moving files" in Google, which
redirected me to this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/b8ql3x/how_do_i_disable_that_dropdown_menu_that_appears/
So it seems that it is definitely a nuisance. While I agree the menu is dang
useful, it also gets in the way everytime I need to move a file quickly, as I
tend to forget what Ctrl/Shift/Alt do to files when dragging them.
KDE years ago, to me, was very advanced with a plethora of options - kinda the
opposite of Gnome and other DEs. Now, it's simpler yet still powerful with the
same bunch of options to configure everything...
...everything but this behavior!!!
So yeah, the menu is good, let's keep it, but PLEASE let's add a small settings
window somewhere for the user to choose the default action when dragging files
to any folder. If we want to get nifty, we can do it per local/remote folder,
or whatever, but honestly this context menu appearing EVERYTIME I drag a file
is driving me crazy.
I appreciate the efforts made on this, and I also agree that it's user expected
behavior as the other OSes also do it the same way. If I move my relatives to
Linux (and KDE is a great option because it works almost like Windows, which is
great), they'll definitely be thrown off by that and ask me "Hey how do I
disable this menu?" so yeah...
