Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V.
Are you a Mac user? Apple disabled Cut in Finder ages ago, basically for aesthetic reasons. It's a constant irritation with my Mac that I have to manually change the folder view just to move a file up one level; on Windows you can do it in less than a second with Ctrl-X, Backspace, Ctrl-V.
- ivanhoe 9y agoThere are Finder extensions like XtraFinder that add cut&paste to it (and a lot of other goodies)
- m0dest 9y agoApple did not "disable" Cut. 1. Copy the source file with Cmd-C 2. Browse to the destination 3. Move with Cmd-Opt-V It's a UI design decision to avoid Cut in the filesystem. Cut would behave differently from Cut in every other app -- namely, the file is not deleted immediately after Cut. It seems better to avoid calling this "Cut" than to have it behave inconsistently from other apps.
