Thunar Side Pane keyboard functionality suggestions

I can add to the wiki if that's the best place for these, just thought I'd open a discussion for them first.

The side pane (i have tree view but I don't know that the following suggestions don't also pertain to the other view): nice & compact, expanding folders a plus, icons nice, etc. Groovy.
But: I'm a little vexed by the lack of direct interactibility on these folders compared to on the right hand pane. It would be nice to be able to use keyboard shortcuts: delete, rename, cut, copy, paste.

To a lesser extent it would be nice to drag & drop folders from within the side pane, but that somewhat introduces the risk of accidental moving, and it's less of a common requirement.

Cheers

Probably best to create a bug report. There is already one similar for keyboard ability in left pane tree view to enter directories: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10173
