Mac has a different workflow for this. You copy and then "paste and move" at the destination, instead of the standard cut. But same result.

I was used to Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V to move files on Windows.

What is the shortcut for "paste and move"?

⌘+C for copy

⌘+V for paste

⌘+⇧+V for paste and move

thanks!

You have to press and hold the option key while the context menu is open. It is just inconvenient compared to other systems.

Agreed. I hate it too.

I 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
