    Like tsugu said. Have a file open for editing or whatever and realizing you’d like it to go into another directory. Of course you could just wait until you’re done and then move, or close, move and re-open… but that’s less convenient (e.g. throwing away current file’s edit history) and/or a risk of forgetting to actually do it, at least for me, lol.

    Not sure about Linux, but I grew up on Unix (macOS), which forces applications (at least GUI based ones, CLI apps do whatever they want) to be able to deal with this, so that’s why I expected Windows to be able to do that as well. Alas…
