Description

While Elementary Files does have an effective copy and paste, I believe a worthwhile addition would be to add "Copy To" and "Move To" to the right click menu, much like Nautilus Files has (see below image). When you do a fair amount of copy/move/paste, I find this to be a huge time saver, more so than having two windows of the file manager open for dragging and dropping.

There may be a way for individuals to add this on their own, but after quite some time searching online, I haven't been able to find where anyone has done that.
