--- Comment #1 from Travis Evans <travisgevans at gmail.com> ---
I'm inclined to agree. Dragging URLs (e.g., from a web page) is the worst
culprit. The most sensible action would be to paste the URL. But instead, I get
a popup menu full of meaningless options. The only one besides “paste location”
that makes remote sense is “copy” (but how often would someone actually want to
do that?). “Move” makes no sense (how would Konsole delete a URL from a web
page in another browser?), and what on earth does “link” mean in this context?

All this seems to mean is that pasting a URL, which should be a simple one-step
operation, becomes two, which is unnecessary complexity for little to no real
benefit. There apparently isn't even a modifier key shortcut for just copying
as text, even though that's probably by far the most commonly used operation!
To add insult to injury, the option is buried near the end of the menu instead
of being at the very top.
