I have put online a little JavaScript tool which allows (mass-) moving of images between categories within commons through point-and-click (no use of keyboard necessary;-)
I tested this on my local MediaWiki installation, where it worked fine, but didn't stress-test it on commons yet. It can't damage anything on commons, but it might not work under certain conditions at the moment.
That said: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Cat-a-lot.js
Awaiting critique and bug reports :-) Magnus

Bug Report #1 from your friendly script tester :p
After clicking "move" to move something, the preview was fine and the edit was right; but when clicking "save" I got an edit conflict, with nobody. You can see my screenshot here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Editor_at_Large%27s_test_image.png . This happened twice; both of the attempts I made on my first try. I just tested it again and it happened another time. Thinking it may be the character (Pecs to Pécs) I attempted it another time: moving Category:Globular Clusters to Category:Globular clusters. Still didn't work. Not sure why I would be getting edit conflicts while using it :/
Other than that, congrats on another lovely script, Magnus :)

Aah, I think I know (though I can only fix it from home tonight).
Other than that, congrats on another lovely script, Magnus :)
Thanks :-)

OK, many news: * Fixed the edit conflict issue * Moved the box to the right side of the page, so it won't overlap the images on a decent screen ;-) * Added a "copy" option ("copys" the images into a new category = adds the category to the page text) * lots of parent/subcategories (e.g., "Sports") are now displayed in a scrollbox - mucho coolo ;-)
Next is probably a "remove" (from this category) option - tomorrow...

Another bug report:
I'm able to select files the first time I visit Category:Sevilla, but after moving one, coming back to move more pictures always selects the first image (not the image I clicked) and when I try to move it, it says that that picture is not on Category:Sevilla. When I reload the category page (F5) it works again for one time.

I have moved several images on commons and could not reproduce the effect. Please force-reload any commons page to clear the browser cache from any old versions, and try again.
On an additional note, I added a "remove from category" function to, well, remove selected images from the current category (e.g., when move failed because the image is already in that category as well).
