[Gllug] KDE and konsole

[Ashley Evans]

Hi everyone,

I often have downloaded files which I want to move into their rightful place 
on my system, sometimes I use Konqueror, sometimes I use bash. What I use 
depends on various factors such as:
 Currently, am I mostly using the mouse... is it worth moving my hand.
 Have I already got the destination or source folder open in either cli or 
gui.
 how many files do I have to move.
 What is the structure of the files (spaces, uncommon chars (big5, for 
example).
 
I wont bore you further with the logincal interdependencies. I'll also get to 
the point of this email.

Not so long ago I discovered that files could be dragged and dropped from a 
Konqueror window directly to the current dir open on 'Konsole'. For me at 
least this is a very useful feature because I often have source and 
destination open in cli and gui, irrespectively. Doing so pops up a menu from 
which you can select ln, cp, mv, or even a cd into the current working dir. 
It does this by pasting the command into the console. for example 'kfmclient 
move source dest'

Anyway, I though this was pretty neat and wanted to share.

P.S No cli/gui holy wars :)
