Ar, thanks for letting me know how to move files. This sure helps as I
will be pressing command-x only to find it doesn't do a thing grins.

Hi Alex,
In Lion and above cutting and pasting files is supported with the "move" option. You
select your file or files, copy to clipboard with Command-C, then move them to a new location with
Command-Option-V. For earlier version of Mac OS X, we used the "moveAddict" application,
which did, indeed, use Command-X to cut and Command-V to paste. That's still an option if you want
to purchase it from the Mac App Store. (There is also a free, lite version of moveAddict if you
only want to move one file at a time.)
I should add that I haven't been using moveAddict in Lion -- only in Snow
Leopard -- and I didn't purchase the version from the App Store. So I can't
check directly on the App Store experience with this utility. (The developer
set up a separate VoiceOver friendly installation that you could download from
the web site).
I'll paste in the description of pasting files from Mac OS X Hints (July 2011):

Lion introduces a long-requested 'copy and move' command in Finder, similar to
'cut and paste' in Windows Explorer.
To move files in Finder first press Command+C to copy the selected files, then
press Command+Option+V to move the copied files to the current folder.

HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi all,
I can copy and paste items just fine. Why, though, is cut (cmd-x) always
dimmed? I am on my mac partition, so it isn't anything with write permission.
This seems an odd feature to be lacking. Thanks.
Have a great day,
