I'm annoyed by the same thing, it's a bad design. The right-click menu
is context sensitive, so will only offer options applicable to what's
under the cursor, or already selected. In this case, it'll be a menu
for working with one of the existing files or folders in that window.
Putting it simply, most of the so-called file managers on Linux are
really not in the class of being a file "manager." They're just file
browsers with a few features.
Unless you use another file browser/manager, you've got two choices:
1. Use keyboard shortcuts, and inconveniently swap between keyboard and
mouse.
2. Laboriously go into the edit menu (at the top of the window,
presuming you're not using a desktop manager that has removed the
feature), and pick PASTE from the EDIT menu.
It'd be nice if you could simply add CUT, COPY and PASTE icons into the
file browser's toolbar, to quickly do those *very* common functions.
