Command X

Cut and paste files and folders in Finder using Command+X and Command+V.

To cut and paste a file in Finder, you press ⌘ C, navigate to the desired directory, and press ⌘ ⌥ V. This can be jarring for users expecting to cut and paste with ⌘ X followed by ⌘ V.

Sindre Sorhus’s Command X app lets you cut and paste in Finder using ⌘ X and ⌘ V. It’s a simple, one use app that can alleviate a lot of frustration for users coming from Windows or Linux.
