GNOME’s Nautilus file manager is finally matching the behavior of other file managers like KDE’s Dolphin and Xfce’s Thunar with a keyboard shortcut for copying and pasting files.

This Week in GNOME highlighted a notable albeit one could argue long overdue change for GNOME Files / Nautilus: Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert support for copying and pasting files.

    Nothing if that works for you, but sometimes I end up using Ctrl+Insert / Shift+Insert a lot because I am doing a lot of things in the terminal and Ctrl+C has a different meaning there, so it is nice for Ctrl+Insert / Shift+Insert to work everywhere for when I have it in my muscle memory.

      TIL I always used Ctrl+shift+v

      This keybind could help save me confusion when I switch between pasting in terminal and pasting in browser.
