I agree with this as well, this one is so important to me.
KDE Plasma is amazing, this is literally one of the only things I can find that
I do not care for, makes it very difficult to use.
I am aware that you can use modifier keys to avoid them but for such a standard
action should not really have to use a keyboard modifier to simple drag and
drop a file with left mouse button.
To me personally this is a pretty big deal, hopefully this could finally be
addressed.
There was a post requesting this from a long time ago (over 10 years ago) it
had over 120 votes for it but unfortunately was never able to be fixed and I
think the post was deleted?
Nothing wrong with having these context menus be the default for those who like
them, but seems odd that KDE, a group known for endless customization /
settings, does not have an option to be able to turn these off / allow users to
choose how drag & drops perform.  I have never seen any other file managers use
this approach with LMB D&D so with something that is far away from a standard,
again seems odd not to be able to have a setting for something like this.
I have however seen in Windows as well as some FM in Linux the use of the RMB
D&D for these context menus which I would prefer.  RMB makes more sense because
a single click brings up context menu so D&D with RMB to bring up these CM
would fit in better here.

I will also add something not mentioned.
This request is under the "Dolphin" category but it is a global issue
throughout Plasma and all KDE products.
I read in that old request post that apparently these context menus are coming
from a file/library that all KDE products use.
I have noticed them in Plasma, Dolphin and Krusader, even shows up in the
Dolphin Flatpak.

I posted a more in depth post about how this could possibly be handled here if
anyone is interested

Thank You
Hopefully this one will be considered
