--- Comment #3 from disposable-hero at mailbox.org ---
I see that the drag-and-drop menu is useful for many users (see Bug 160583).
But for others it is just an annoyance (see also Bug 66479) - especially in its
current form.
Worst of all, the most straightforward action, "Paste Location", is not even at
the top of the menu (and has no modifier key). As a result,
dragging-and-dropping a file path requires way more attention than appropriate.
Users unfamiliar with Konsole's behaviour (the terminals of GNOME and Xfce
simply insert the path) might even accidentally move their files.

So, please consider doing the following:
- Move "Paste Location" to the top of the menu. ("Change Directory To" should
probably be second.)
- Add an option to disable the drag-and-drop menu.
- Perhaps assign a modifier key to paste the path if the menu is enabled or to
show the menu if it is disabled.

The first two changes would not affect those who like the menu, but make it
less annoying and usable for everyone. The last one would break the behaviour
known from Dolphin etc. and might be controversial.
