Is there a setting to get a notification when a copy or move is completed? When copying only a couple files, there is no way to know if it completed without going to the destination directory and searching for the files. I'd like to get a pop-up or at least a completed audio sound each time I copy or move files. Thanks.

Have you tried the Progress Indicators, e.g. jobs bar (Preferences / File Operations / Progress Indicators)?
Yes. There is nothing for completed notifications.
You could modify your copy button:
Copy
Play FILE="C:\Windows\Media\Windows Notify.wav" QUIET
@confirm:Done!

I would also like this feature.
Take the two scenarios 1) copy some smallish file, takes a short time, don't need to know when its done. 2) file progress says its going to be a long time in which case ONLY THEN will I decideI'd like to be notified when its completed.
I could add the @confirm:Done! to the copy command but then I'd get it every time.
I could create a new button just for copies I know I want to be notified about , but I don't always know UNTIL its copying that it will be slow
Given that the Unattended Operation checkbox is there in the copy dialog, it seems to me a perfect chance for me to click Unattended, and in the Unattended Error dialog, there could be a checkbox for 'Notify on completed'.
Yes I know it says its Unattended Errors, but you open that by clicking Unattended Operation, so just rename that dialog to Unattended Operation Options.

How can I modify the copy button?
(Apologies if bumping is frowned upon here)
Settings > Customize Toolbars and Keys.
Right-click the button and choose Edit.

FWIW, I have the Progress Bar set up to start hidden in the status bar.
If I want to know if my copy/move operation is done, I just have to take a look at this progress in the status bar : if it's not there, then ... copy/move is ended.
Of course, when multiple actions (different destinations) are going simultaneously, I might have to open them to know. But this does not happen often.
In the 5th 'Default Toolbars' tab right? It says "Edit (read-only)". 'Ok' to save the changes is greyed out
Edit the button itself, on the actual toolbar in the main window.

Checkbox "Notify at completion/error" in (any) progress bar would be useful.
Sometimes I am doing something on other window/screen or I am watching a movie, but I want to know ASAP that particular operation has been completed (or encountered obstacle).
Method of notification could be set in Preferences.

Not working
@keydown:none
Copy MOVE
Play FILE="C:\Windows\Media\Windows Notify.wav" QUIET
@confirm:Done!
@keydown:shift
Copy MOVE AS
Is it supposed to look like this?
Might I suggest adding new sound events to Preferences / Miscellaneous / Sounds:
Copy failure
Copy success
Move failure
Move success

Can you be more specific? 
Did you edit the button you are clicking to perform the copy?

Sorry I was so sure something was wrong with how typed in the code that I didn't explain anything else
It's working now. I thought the copy button was the same as ctrl+c.
Is it possible to have a notification but without the DOpus window coming into focus? Sound + taskbar icon highlighting should be ideal
The Play command can play a wav file.
Scripting also provides a way to show a system notification in the corner of the screen.
