How to move a file instead of cut & paste?

Hi,
 
How to provide a move option which will open a pop-up menu to move the files from one location to another location, will be best if it's also maintaining the hierarchy of the folder in case the root folder selected as the destination.

You can already drag and drop files/folders to move inside the FileManager. While dragging you can force "Move" pressing SHIFT key and force "Copy" by pressing CTRL key. It works the same as in Windows Explorer. Also when you drag and hold item(s) to the folder tree on the left, it will expand the folders to help you find your destination subfolder.

Thank you very much. One more thing it's possible to add a custom event on open button present on the context menu so that i can write a code to read the metadata of the PDF file & display it on the pop-up menu along with the opening the file.

As a follow up to this, is there a way to MOVE files and folders without letting the users DELETE files and folders? What are the permission settings to allow this? This is important in prevent accidental deletion of all files by novice users. Thank you.
