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… ;-) > Of course, if copying to a different volume using Finder, you can always hold > the option key down to force a move.

That'd be cool :-) 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. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>
