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.

I'm guessing it's for those godforsaken left-handed mousers.

Wait wait wait. Are you saying/implying that there has been a better way to copy paste for lefties with using ctrl/shift insert all this time? I waste so much time with shifting my left hand from the Mouse!
