    HOWTO: Contextual menu with file drag 'n' drop

    This is more a tiny tip than a howto, but it seems that many people aren't aware of this.


    Ever wondering how to popup a contextual menu when drag 'n' dropping a file, as in Windows with the right mouse button ?

    You can do it in Gnome with the middle mouse button.

    Or with ALT-left mouse button... (while CTRL-left mouse button makes a copy...)

    Press the ALT key after you've already moved, else it will move the window.
