Hi Anouk, IF you want to select a few files in a row, hold down shift while unsing the down arrow to select, up arrow to deselect. Also, you have the multi-selection. Simply hit VO-Command-spacebar when you're on the file you want to select one at a time if you prefer it that way. This is especially helpful if they're not in order. I have seen "Cut" in some applications, though interestingly enough it's not available most of the time. Use the "push letter" method to go to any file or folder, or use Spotlight. The fact the Mac does not show folders before files is just how the Mac does it. It does it alphabetically. Go to your view options in a finder window, choose the "Arrange By" submenu, and choose "kind" or hit command-control-5. That should hopefully fix that. You just have to look in the menus.
