drag or drop folder using keyboard on windows 11

Time:10-01

I am using the Windows 11 Operating System. I searched and I could not find a way. I wonder if we can drag or drop a folder using the keyboard?

CodePudding user response:

  1. If you don't mind, just use Ctrl-C/V to complete the folder move.

  2. You can try the Mouse Keys function provided by Microsoft self. Using it you can control the mouse pointer with the numeric keypad on your keyboard, and therefore complete the folder drag and drop.

  • How to enable Mouse Keys?

    See "Control your mouse with a numeric keypad" in this link.

  • How to drag and drop after enabling Mouse keys.

    See this link for the key mappings.

    First, move your mouse pointer to the target folder by pressing 1-4 and 6-9. Then press key "0" once which will select the folder and keep the state. After that, you can freely move it to the target position by pressing 1-4 and 6-9. Finally, press key "." (or "5") once to drop the folder.
