If I use F3 in Nautilus, I right-click on the file and select "move to other pane". How do I move a file from one tab to the other in PCManFM?

Press Ctrl, and without releasing it, press one after the other: X, Tab, V (then release Ctrl).
xdotool allows automation of keyboard and mouse clicks/movements; install it with sudo apt-get install xdotool
Copy and paste the below to an sh
file, say pcmanmove.sh
in your home directory:
#!/bin/bash
xdotool key --clearmodifiers ctrl+x
sleep 0.125
xdotool key --clearmodifiers Ctrl+Tab
sleep 0.125
xdotool key --clearmodifiers ctrl+v
Make it executable with chmod +x ~/pcmanmove.sh
Open Settings...Keyboard, and go to the Shortcuts tab. Create a custom shortcut, naming it whatever you want, and setting the "Command" path to /home/username/pcmanmove.sh
. Click Apply. The right-column will say "Disable", click on it and you'll see "New Accelerator": press your shortcut key combo. I chose Ctrl+Alt+X
, for example.
Now, with two tabs open in PCmanFM, press the custom shortcut to accomplish the move in one-quarter of a second! ;)
