Try Nimble Commander. After years of searching, it's the closest Mac replacement for Total Commander that I've found, it's really great.

Finder does not support Cmd-X. Only Cmd-C and Cmd-V (and Cmd-Option-V).

  Aren’t “cut” and “move” functionally equivalent? The only edge case I can see is “cutting” once and then pasting to multiple destinations, which would need N-1 copies and a final move.

    I believe they are, but for a long time I did not know of the Move shortcut. I can see why they added it: better UX since less likely to be accidental whereas using Cmd-X may cut a file when you misclicked off cutting the name of the file.

  https://rectangleapp.com/ https://rectangleapp.com/ I am also one of those Linux desktop users who bought an M2 for power management and I don't understand how people can be satisfied with the out of the box window management experience. Every other environment supports hyper + arrow to move windows into a split view, windows, gnome, kde, whatever.

    Ahhh that makes 100% sense, definitely especially if you were on Linux. Not that I've ever stuck with one long enough. And I might have not done this at all with this latest Mac, I tried stage manager. But had gave up on that too last week.

  Agreed. Not sure where GP got his idea that the first thing one installs would be Rectangle, or brew (do non-developers even need brew?). This assumption is silly.

    > Not sure where GP got his idea As explained GP used a customized Linux desktop for years. Switching from that to Mac OS' limited window management features can definitely motivate someone to google possible solutions as one of the first steps. I know because it was the same for me as well. I don't need an insane set of keyboard shortcuts but I think matching e.g. Gnome's default experience isn't too much to ask for.

      Sure, I'm not disputing that. I think that extrapolating it to assume (at least from my limited english) that every Mac user installs Rectangle and brew is a bit presumptuous.

I think yabai is far better for someone tiling window manager on Linux inclined. Rectangle is more like grandma asked how to have two windows side by side. I don't currently have a Mac, but when I did and if I did I would definitely install brew before whatever other essential - how else am I going to install the latter? (I'd reluctantly open Terminal and Safari to do so, and then to be honest Alacritty and Firefox would probably beat anything for window management. I used to have it all scripted, so it actually would've been just Terminal git clone and run.)
