The copy action does what you want already, so I don’t see what you’d be 
losing. The move action doesn’t do what a lot of other people want it to do, so 
I can see what they’d gain.

If someone gets confused that a file has moved after they explicitly move it, 
ummm… ;-)

Choosing the move action instead of copy strikes me as the Quicksilver 
equivalent way to force a move. We could make them alternates for each other 
(where you’d hold ⌘ to reverse the behavior), but that might be confusing until 
we make alternates more discoverable.
