copynautilus
when i do ctrl+c or hit menu => copy, Nautilus freezes on several seconds.
This doesnt happen on paste.
If i open nautilus on console, no related error is shown. I tried upgrading from 16.10 to 17.04 and even added experimental PPA, but nothing fixed it.
Did anyone observe this? Thanks.
If you Middle-click drag and drop (or press Alt after you've started moving the icon so that it doesn't trigger the window move) and then let go of the file a context menu shows up giving you the choice of Copy, Move, link, etc.
Example dragging a file onto my desktop:
The cursor will have a little question mark by it, then when you let go this pops up:
Someone filed a bug report with Nautilus to support right click drag and drop but the developer deemed that unnecessary.
There was a dialogue with the nautilus developers late 2010 but it fizzled out without a conclusion.
The developers said that the current nautilus infrastructure does not allow for the integration of ultracopier with nautilus.
It was mentioned, it should be possible via nautilus scripts - but those scripts cannot be invoked via keyboard - only via the nautilus menu.
Thus to answer the question - no - and not very likely.

Rename 'kdeconnect-cli'
I think this problem is facing by who installed KDE Connect on their system. I have Ubuntu 16.04 and I was also facing same problem with nautilus-3.20.3 while ctrl+c or right-click => copy. I analyzed system monitor, /var/log/syslog and found that when we press ctrl+c, a process name 'kdeconnect-cli' appear in system monitor.
So I renamed this file like '__kdeconnect-cli' in the directory /usr/bin and the problem solved but now I am not able to send files to my Android device with right-click.
'kdeconnect-cli' is a KDE Connect CLI tool that is responsible for sending files with right-click to your Android device using KDE Connect tool, I guess.
Now you have to use kdeconnect-indicator icon in your status bar to send files to your Android. kdeconnect-indicator
