I like that alot!  I might second the suggestion to provide an option
to copy files.  In fact, depending on the filesystem (same filesystem
or not, on a GNU/Linux system), a hard link would be fantastic!

Thank you for this.

 I might second the suggestion/request  to provide an option to copy
files.  In fact, depending on the filesystem (same filesystem or not,
on a GNU/Linux system), a hard link would be fantastic!  I have a
somewhat convoluted bunch of directories, and it took me some time to
find a way to hardlink a file that I'd moved into the ~/org/data
directory, back to it's source directory.

Thank you for this.
