One work-around, if you absolutely must use a mouse action to perform
a paste operation into a full list-mode window, is to right click on
the tab of the target window in the Nautilus top bar then click on
"open in new window". That will open the target folder in icon mode
(if you haven't changed with the defaults) and you can right-click on
any empty space to access the file actions context menu and complete
the paste operation from there. Close the new window when done.
Does no-one else see the stupidity of replacing a simple menu operation,
with a complicated procedure?
*IT* is supposed to be the damn computer doing the work.
By my count it's exactly one extra mouse click. There's no difference
between left-clicking on a menu bar icon or right clicking on a folder
tab. The only complication is having to reposition the mouse pointer
before making the right click to open the file actions context menu.
But I could see where someone might think that a complicated procedure.
