PR Summary by Qodo

Document copying and moving entries between libraries

📝 Documentation 🕐 Less than 5 minutes

AI Description

• Explain how to drag entries between open library tabs.
• Distinguish default copying from Shift-assisted moving behavior.

High-Level Assessment

The concise numbered procedure is appropriate for this focused user workflow. Separate pages or additional structural changes would add unnecessary navigation overhead for a feature used directly in the main window.

Document cross-library entry copying and moving

• Adds instructions for dragging selected entries from one open library tab to another. Clarifies that dragging copies entries by default, while holding Shift moves them after successful insertion into the target library.

This is very incomplete. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are missing.

Maybe just "drag'n'drop".

The modifier "Shift" also works for file drag'n'drop

Too prominent for that feature - other place possible?

@Eng-YasminKotb MacOS Keyboard shortcuts are just cmd + c
