Hello Vic, Here's an Automator work flow to do what you want. It was posted by Yuma Antoine Decaux a little while ago. 1- Open Automator 2-It will ask you to choose from a template. Right arrow until you find services, then press return. 3-at this stage, VO should say name. VO right arrow until you are on the actions description split view. interact with it 4-you should be now in action library view. interact with it. Its an expandable element. go down to files and folders. 5-VO right arrow till you get to the actions, and choose down the list to move finder items. Note:at this stage, things might seem a bit sluggish, but it will go away, and only happens once every 3rd session. 6-press return. you should now have created an action to define, and VO should say move finder items. Interact with it 7-VO left until VO says text in service action selected any application replaces selected text. This is a group you interact with, in which there are static texts and pressable dropbox menus. 8-VO to text, VO space bar and choose files and folders in the list. Then VO right to any applications, VO space bar again and choose finder in the list of choices. 9-stop interacting with the group, VO right to move finder items, and interact with that. 10-go right until you find the options check box. check it. -11-VO right to show this action when the workflow runs. 13-save the file with command S, call the service whatever you want. You will now have a service for moving files and folders in your contextual menu VO shift M, or control mouse click. If you want something faster than a contextual menu, you can bind the automator service to a keypress.
