    File manager with easy hardlink and softlink

    I have noticed that it would be very useful to be able to create hardlinks and softlinks with the same ease with which one can create nice and simple copies (in the ctrl+c, ctrl+v style).

    I have done a little research and I haven't found a file manager that has this capability. Does any-one know of any such file managers? Does any-one know of a file manager for which coding such functions would be simplest?

    Thanks,

    In nautilus you middle click drag & drop, see if the pop up window shows keyboard shortcuts for those on the side.

    Re: File manager with easy hardlink and softlink

    Thanks for the reply, but there are two problems with this:
    (a) it is not in the ctrl+c, ctrl+v format that I wish to use; and,
    (b) there is no option available in that menu for hardlinking.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks,
