How to move an item to another collection?

Hello,

I just cannot figure out a sane way to move an item from a collection to another collection.
If I drag and drop the item over the destination collection, Zotero currently creates a copy of the item in the new collection and leaves the old one in the initial collection. I have to manually go to the initial collection and delete it from there.

This is something that I have to do almost everytime I use Zotero, and it is getting quite frustrating to do so.

Client: Mac
Version: 4.0.21.4
  • Press shift while dragging.

    Also, for the record, Zotero doesn't create a copy, it just adds the same item to a different collection (i.e you still only have one item, just in multiple collections)

    Pressing shift while dragging in order to move an item does not work on my Mac (Mavericks, using the trackpad, Zotero 4.0.21.5).

    It's Cmd on OS X (which is the system convention for forcing a move).
  • Oops, sorry for misinformation
