I think it's a good idea, but it comes a bit late, after a release that
has a different behavior. Indeed, Shift-F5 and Shift-F6 are primarily
meant to copy or move files to something with a similar name, so it would
be logical for them to act on the current file even in presence of
selected files.
Also, it's good to have a possibility to act on the current file without
having to unselect everything.
Any objections if we change the behavior of Shift-F5 and Shift-F6?
