Feature: Add actions for "copy to" and "move to"

[BlackWizArt]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

I would like to have a keybind for file operations "copy to folder" and "move to folder". Currently they are only available as shell-extensions on Win11. If they were added to the selectable part of "actions" one could also assign keys.

Requirements

• This proposal will add two items to the "Actions" selection: "copy to folder" and "move to folder"
• This proposal will allow users to set own "hot keys" for these actions in their settings

Files Version

3.6.0.0

Windows Version

23H2 (Win 11 Home)

Thank you for your feedback. These scenarios are exactly what we had in mind for "actions".

On the same idea, I would like to have in the toolbar and/or in the context menu a "Copy to" and "Move to" that will show the currently open tabs and panes and quickly transfer the file to the required tab/pane without the need to switch to the destination tab and press Paste button.

As an idea on how it works in Directory Opus, when you press Copy/Move to, a dialog like this pops up that allows you to select one of the tabs, one of the recent paths, one of the favourites or a new path entirely:
