The fuck do you mean, why would I want to move files in a terminal? Because I’m doing shit in a terminal! What, do you expect people to Super+E, find the directory they’re in, and drag-and-drop? I’m using tools that only exist in the command line.
I’m using whatever GNOME Terminal came with Linux Mint 20 by default. StackOverflow answers sound like any POSIX terminal will do this. I assume it’s standard behavior.
