Cut and paste on mac

{ March 25, 2009 @ 5:20 pm } · { General }

Little things about Macs, bug the hell out of me. You can’t right click a file and cut, and then go to another location and paste it. They want you do copy, paste and delete the original; or open both source and target folders and click and drag; or do a crazy click and drag navigation through finder. The silly thing is the Cut option is there in Edit, it’s just grayed out. Do not understand!! This is on top of the unzipping behavior that bugs the crap out of me too. By default double clicking a zip just unzips it in that location. I’d like to extract it to a location without having to move the zip first. It’s just annoying. I always find myself working around or doing things the way they want me to. Damn communists.

    Hold down Command while you drag and drop will paste to the selected directory and then delete the original
