[Feature request] - Move files on drag & drop instead of creating shortcut #154

Description

@claricewibisono

I have tried to drag & drop files in my desktop to the frame, the result is always shortcuts.
I tried using alt, shift, ctrl when dragging, but none of them are moving the files.

I have a lot of files in my desktop, and I would prefer to move the files in the desktop to the frame instead of creating shortcuts (which creates a duplicate).

So it will be good if there's a setting which can change the behavior when file(s) are drag & dropped into the frame, an option whether the drag & drop event will create shortcut / move the files.

Alternatively it will be helpful if there's a modifier key shortcut which will change the drag & drop behavior.
eg: Ctrl+drag & drop will move the files instead of creating shortcut.
This alternative is good but not ideal, because I will need to press modifier key everytime i move files.
a little extra effort but multiplied by a thousand times.

Basically the current DeskFrame behavior is not helpful for my working style.
Every time I need to move a file into the frame with the current feature, I will need to right click, choose open folder, then I drag the file into the folder, and then close the folder.
this many-steps just to move a file is really painful.
at least there should be a quick shortcut to open the frame folder quickly.

Then another one, dragging the files out of the frame into desktop, will create a copy of the file.
Why would I need 2 copies of shortcut in my desktop?
I would prefer the dragging out event will move the file instead of copying them.

I need to manage my files in the desktop, moving them in the right frames, in and out frames, instead of creating shortcut copies of them.
