Hi,

Having started a week and a half ago, I am still using KDE, and I'm really 
happy. Sure, it has its problems, but it is very usable, and shows much, much 
promise. I have gotten to the point where I have started configuring my icons, 
making my panel really usable, etc. :-)

Oh well, to my original point. I think it would be nice to have default 
drag-and-drop actions for objects. The "Copy, Move, Link" menu provides the 
functionality in a nice way, but I personally would prefer something like this:

- Plain drag-and-drop: moves.
- CTRL-drag-and-drop: copies.
- Alt-drag-and-drop: links.

For copies and links, the cursor could change to indicate the operation that 
is about to take place (e.g. two superimposed squares for copy, and a 
double-headed arrow for link)

Just my thoughts.

Cheers,
--Diego
