Option + Drag / Drop --- Apple Delete
- ribit0
which means there should be a terminal command to enable it as well...

btw, the Cut function is built-in to the Edit menu in OSX, if you get MacPilot, you can enable it. (and maybe Onyx, Cocktail etc)

The thing is they've provide other ways for you to get around the Finder so you don't really need to have cut/paste... but if you are trying to work like you are in Windows and ignoring those features, yep you are probably wanting cut/paste...
- Explain, please.Jaline
- drag files to a new location using column view is pretty easy...ribit
- I guess. But cut and paste is just EASY and familiar.Jaline
- if you are used to Windows-ish navigation, yesribit
- the trick with Column view is to disable it spawning new windows (in Finder prefernces)..
ribit - so you always work in one window (unless you want to open another for dragging stuff to)
ribit - I do use column view sometimes. I'll try your suggestion later.Jaline

i actually agree with you

It's just something that I wish would even be an option in system preferences. I don't want to go mucking about in terminal to get one of the most simple commands to work on files and folders. It should be a checkbox: "Enable File / Folder Cutting & Pasting".

I didn't say I want everything to work like windows, but in this specific instance, yes, it does make sense. It's something you'd only have to do wrong once to understand.
- acescence0
and that windows behavior makes sense? if you want everything to work like windows.. use windows
- brains0
Well, I work on a windows computer at work, and if you cut something and don't paste, then cut something else, the original cut just restores itself to where it was. It's not rocket science. It doesn't go "into the ether". What is so wrong about this that apple decided that it wasn't a good idea?

What could the reason be?
