Under the  
**File \> Options \> Messages**  
there is no option for displaying a confirmation message for moving files. And as "Move" and "Copy" are next to each other under the right click menu, it is easy to accidentally click the wrong one. And as [I do not know on what basis] Mp3tag sometimes removes moved files from the list in the main window and sometimes do not, I sometimes have to way of telling if they really were moved [or just copied; or moved instead of being copied]

And yes, a slip of a pointer is possible. I have many actions that put tag values in form of a code-word. And when I put multiple tag / words, each with a different actions from the drop down menu, not so rarely as I wish do I see that a wrong was putted [a one that was adjacent to the right one on the list]

And on the side note: that "Copy" from the right click menu has a misleading name. It should be called "Copy To..."; and only then here should be an option called "Copy" [which would make the selected files available to be pasted from the clipboard]
