[Geany-Users] Copy and paste files?

[Chris Spencer]

That's a really rude response...

This doesn't seem all that unreasonable. The Tree Browser already has
"Create new file", "Delete" and "Rename". So you can open a file, copy the
contents, create a new file, and paste the contents. Why is having a single
content menu shortcut for that so terrible?
