What is the correct way to copy a file or directory to another directory? In the past I was able to use press the mouse left and right button, it didn't work all the time hard to press the two buttons at the same time.
This has nothing to do with copying files as such. The "press two buttons" trick is used when you have a two-button mouse and want to simulate pressing a (non-existent) middle button, which is a conventional way to paste text from the X copy buffer.
Check your X settings, specifically the mouse. You don't say what desktop you're using so instructions will vary.
