Adding a Move Hotkey for split view as option

Can you add a hotkey option for moving items from one side to the other? This option would only be available when Split view is activated in Thunar. This option is very similar to the one that One Commander has for Windows. The hotkey for this option would be CTRL-M the items you selected would be moved to the other side.

Version information

Version 4.18.8

Xubuntu 24.04

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Thunar
  2. Press F3 to activate split view
  3. No hotkey option to move item from left side to right or right side to left

Current behavior

No hotkey option to move only Copy and Paste or Drag and drop

Expected outcome

Pressing a hotkey CTRL-M would move the selected items to the other side without using the mouse

Backtrace

Additional information

Would it be possible to add a dual Pane view instead of Split one similar to what Total and Double commander have which would make it easier to move items between both sides instead of copying them or drag/droping them. The Pane or split that you are on would be higlighted with the accent color of your theme.

Current look Thunar1
