Copy, cut & paste
Copy, cut, and paste work on the current selection and are recursive (folders and their contents).
| Action | Keyboard | Controller |
|---|---|---|
| Copy | Ctrl+C | LT + A |
| Cut | Ctrl+X | LT + X |
| Paste | Ctrl+V | LT + Y |
The clipboard is shared across tabs, so you can copy in one tab and paste in another.
Collision-safe naming
Section titled “Collision-safe naming”When you paste into a folder that already contains an item with the same name, DeckCrate never overwrites silently — it asks you what to do:
- Replace — overwrite the existing item with the one you’re pasting.
- Skip — leave the existing item untouched and move on.
- Keep both — paste alongside the original, appending a
(copy)suffix (and numbering further copies) so nothing is lost.
When several items collide at once, tick Apply to all remaining to make your choice stick for the rest of the operation instead of being asked each time.
Tracked, cancellable, undoable
Section titled “Tracked, cancellable, undoable”Every copy/move runs as a tracked background operation you can watch, pause, and cancel from the Operations manager, and the whole thing is undoable.
Paste as link (macOS/Linux)
Section titled “Paste as link (macOS/Linux)”After a copy, the command menu offers Paste link — creating a symbolic link to the source in the current folder. Links carry a small shortcut badge on their icon, and opening a folder link follows it to the real target.
