How to move items from collection to subcollection

irinasz

Hi, is there a faster way to move items from a collection to a subcollection, so they are only seen in the subcollection?

Currently, I do the following:
1. Find relevant items in the main collection
2. Drag the items to a subcollection
3. Find the same items in the main collection again
4. Delete them from the collection

What I would like to do more efficiently is this:
1. Find relevant items in the main collection
2. Drag them to a subcollection while also removing them from the main collection

I'm hoping there is some hidden shortcut I'm not aware of. It would save me hours of time. Thank you.

Hold down Cmd (Mac) or Shift (Windows/Linux) then drag and drop.

Thank you so much, tim820; this is exactly what I was looking for. You've saved me hours of work.

How to change the default behavior? I don't want to use the keyboard to do the move action for every time I want to.
