My process
Select file or folder in finder
press vo shift m
up arrow to the "more" menu.
press return
The four options I find are
automator
send item to…
enable folder actions
configure folder actions.
I can't find anything to do with moving. Unless perhaps "send to" has
something to do with it. Anyone know what "WM_Administrat2 " is?
Yeah you might have installed that move utility thing without knowing
it. But certainly there is no such functionality included with OS
anything right now.
I remember Greg mentioned a while back that the reason why we don't
have something liek ctrl x to cut files in os x, is because that means
that the file is temporarily destroyed and if you copy something else
to the clipboard, it will be gone forever (the file you were moving).
But I wonder if there is not a way we could just attach an earmark for
a file to be moved. Press ctrl x, and instead of copying the file to
the clipboard, it puts a tag of some sort that instructs the system to
do the equiv of a mouse drag to the folder that someone selects with
another command like ctrl c or perhaps ctrl shift x or something
else. If I press ctrl x to earmark a file for moving, and then press
ctrl c to copy another file to the clipboard, the earmark on the first
will just disappear.
But in the mean time I use terminal. And I sure would like a syntax
for selecting multiple files for moving or copying in terminal. I
think I asked this a while back and didn't see an answer.

Hey All, have you seen the Move to option in Finder? I'm not
talking about the automator option, I'm talking about a specific
'Move to' option which is now in the 'More' menu of Finder.
Has this been added in 10.5.2?
