View, Tree View, or Detailed List View. If you click a file, Konqueror shows a
preview of the the contents or loads the file into an application for further processing.
If you hold the mouse pointer over the file, Konqueror shows a tooltip with detailed
information on the file, such as owner, permissions, or last modification date.
5.4.1 Copying, Moving, or Deleting Files
For performing actions like copying, moving, or deleting files, you need appropriate
permissions to the folders and files involved in your action. Read more about file system
permissions in Section 3.2, “Users and Access Permissions” (page 102).
TIP: Selecting Objects in Konqueror
Clicking a file or a folder in Konqueror directly starts an action: a preview of
the file is displayed or the folder is opened. To former users of MS Windows,
this behavior may be rather unusual. If you just want to select one or several
files without any other action, press Ctrl then click the object. Alternatively,
alter your mouse settings in the Control Center (see Section 6.2.7, “Regional
& Accessibility” (page 171)).
To copy or move a file or folder, proceed as follows:
1 Right-click the object and select Copy To or Move To from the context menu.
2 If you want to copy or move the object to one of the folders offered in the submenu,
select the corresponding menu item and click Copy Here or Move Here.
Destination folders you have already used are listed in lower part of the submenu.
3 To copy or move the object to a different folder select Browse. A tree view of
your file systems opens where you can select the destination folder.
The quickest way to perform actions like copying or moving objects in Konqueror is
the drag-and-drop method. For instance, you can easily move objects from one window
to another by simply dragging them. When dropping the object, you are asked whether
the objects should be moved or copied.
To delete a file or folder, proceed as follows:
