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 the click, and it is difficult to explain to them to memorize the keyboard shortcuts, they must already get used to the change of operating system between Windows 7/10 and Ubuntu / Kubuntu.
Yesterday I installed Kubuntu (I removed Windows 7) to a user, so I made a temporary backup on a USB disk, at the end of the installation I made all the files move (not copy), with dolphin it was simple and intuitive because I was proposed a choice. ** Attachment added: "Cattura.PNG" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1820104/+attachment/5246261/+files/Cattura.PNG -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820104 Title: Ask what to do when moving files/folders Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: When I move a document to a folder on the same disk, by default I move the folder/file, what I expect is that it asks me if: copy, move or create a connection, as does the Dolphin file manager. Many times it happens that I have to copy files/folders and I find myself moving these files, is not very friendly as a user experience. I attach a screenshot to show what the Dolphin file manager does, and what I expect Nautilus to do.
