The ideal is the behavior that Dolphin has, because sometimes I want to copy, sometimes I want to move, Dolphin in this case when you drag a folder asks you: copy, move, link, as seen in the screenshot I attached on post #1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

It would be best to submit the request to the people writing the software https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/ We are not going to change the behaviour, I'm not even sure what you suggest at this point. Displaying a menu on a drag action by default would get in the way for everyone and

In fact, not even Windows shows a choice when moving a folder, even if it visually indicates that you are moving a folder. Unfortunately I don't use keyboard shortcuts very much, I use a lot of mouse. Same thing the users to whom I install an operating system, in 99% of the cases they are used to

Sorry, I'll correct myself: The different behavior is on the same partition: move. However the problem of usability remains, many inexperienced users accustomed to Windows, use the mouse to move, copy folders etc I must be able to decide at least whether to move or copy. -- You received this bug

Thank you for responding so quickly. The problem is that it has two different behaviors: 1) The use case that operates in the same partition, in this case copy; 2) The use case that operates on different partitions, in this case moves, I expect at least the same "copy" behavior, because I can move
