Currently, when I drag a file from Edge-Drop to another location, the file is copied to the destination. However, in many workflows, I want to move the file rather than duplicate it—especially when organizing files.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like Edge-Drop to offer a "Move" mode for file items, where dragging a file out of the shelf moves (cuts + pastes) the file to the destination instead of copying it.
Some possible ways to implement this:
Modifier key: Hold a specific key (e.g., Shift or Ctrl+Shift) while dragging to trigger a move instead of a copy.
Per-item context menu: Right-click a file item in the shelf and select "Move to..." or toggle a "Move mode" for that item.
Global setting: Add a toggle in Settings to switch the default drag behavior between "Copy" and "Move" (with the modifier key as an override).
