![]() Why cut something and then potentially lose or misplace it? Imagine the harm if you selected a few hundred files to copy them (or duplicate them) but inadvertently hit the X key. The implementations seem quite similar for filesystem cut/paste operations in practice.Īssuming it's not a "patent thing", one could speculate that this is a "do no harm" design standpoint. Whereas cut on Windows means text goes away and files get copied for cutting on paste. The thing that seems to be different is that CUT on OS X means it's gone now. On Snow Leopard and earlier, the cut function is not part of Finder. You can also use: right click + Copy then Option + right click + "Move Item Here" This retroactively cuts the original file(s) and pastes them in the new folder. If you copy a file and hold down the ⌥ key in addition to the normal paste command. The cut function is implemented in Lion and later as a result of modifying the paste command.
