  Sounds like maybe you or your distro turned off the menu?

  Yep!

  Consistency is important when the use cases are the same or very similar. For Konsole, I think they're not. In a file manager, both moving and copying (also linking to a lesser extent) are very common actions. In a terminal, nearly all of the time, what you want to do is paste a path; using the terminal for direct file management via drag-and-drop is a very distant second, I think.
