Description Jakub Steiner 2002-06-20 14:46:07 UTC 
When moving files across filesystems using DnD, nautilus defaults to copy.
However there is no direct key modifier to change the behaviour to move.
Only alt can ask what action should nautilus use for the dropped files.
Ctrl is used to switch copy/move behaviour when DnDing files on the same
filesystem.

Using shift works fine here with 2.9.92.
