Figure 3-12. Thanks to this shortcut menu, right-dragging icons is much easier and safer than left-
dragging when you want to move or copy something. If you’re dragging more than one item, a tiny
numeric “badge” on the cursor reminds you how many things you’re about to move or copy.

Dragging icons into the navigation pane

You may find it easier to copy or move icons using the navigation pane,
since the two-pane display format makes it easier to see where your files are
and where they’re going.

Just expand the arrow brackets of the navigation pane until you can see the
destination folder.

Tip

If you accidentally click a folder in the navigation pane, its contents will pop up in the right pane,
covering up the icon you wanted to copy. Click the Back button to get back to where you once
belonged.
