Luckily macos is extensible so you can create your own service for that.
- solardev 4y agoMac has a different workflow for this. You copy and then "paste and move" at the destination, instead of the standard cut. But same result.
- dolmen 4y agoI was used to Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V to move files on Windows. What is the shortcut for "paste and move"?
- gield 4y ago⌘+C for copy ⌘+V for paste ⌘+⇧+V for paste and move
- philkrylov 4y agothanks!
- JacobSeated 4y agoYou have to press and hold the option key while the context menu is open. It is just inconvenient compared to other systems.
- solardev 4y agoAgreed. I hate it too.
- JacobSeated 4y agoI find the Mouse is typically more convenient for cut on files, unless I happen to have my other hand on the keyboard. The shortcut keys on mac are often a two, three or even four combination whereas on GNU/Linux or Windows it will be a one or two-key operation. The way Mac handles copying and pasting text is also horrendous, because it also copies the styling, something I actually never need to do. The way to paste text without styling is a horrendous long, and inconvenient keyboard combo. Other system does that too, but it is just less often an issue. Typically what I do instead is I have a plain text window open, paste my text in that, then copy it again, and finally paste it in the intended destination. It is piss annoying
