What about the simple selection of several files with the mouse? And then dragging that selection over another Nautilus window?
Instead of moving the files, the dragging action removes the selection, making it unusable for the most basic folder task.
Nautilus is so broken I prefer to use the console for most file related tasks.

- anthk 5y agoRox Filer is what Nautilus should've been. Blazing fast, good console/terminal integration, RoxLib.
- mnahkies 5y agoWhat you just describes definitely works in modern versions of Nautilus. Just checked on fedora 34. I have a nagging memory that this may not have worked in the past though. I actually find Nautilus perfectly fine to use. My biggest gripe is sometimes it's difficult to right click to get a context menu that isn't a file selection (ie: to create a new folder when you're in the list view)
