Request: cut / paste to move files

Hello, thanks for your work on Marta. So far so good.

A lot of users coming from the Windows world are used to the pattern of copy / cut files, move to destination, then paste to copy and move files. May we have keyboard bindings for these actions, similar to what's in Finder?

Cmd+C/Cmd+V are already supported. Are you about the "cut" operation (Cmd+X)?

You're right, Cmd+C/Cmd+V works. Yes cut operation defaulting to Cmd+X would make it complete.

In Finder it's CMD+C and then CMD+ALT+V so you do not have to decide if you want to copy or cut at the first step, it's only different at the second step, while pasting.

@monouser7dig you're right, although I find this strange considering how cut / paste typically work. I'll remove "finder-like" from this issue.

I would love to have this as well!

I'm also miss this simple routine feature

Hello, I really miss this feature! Do you plan to implement it?

Either Cmd+C > Cmd+Opt+V (like in Finder) or Cmd+X > Cmd+V.

Yup, I'm not sure why this is not yet answered officially, since I really miss this! I'm now using the combination of clone.right and move actions to achieve cut, but this seems not a good idea if I only want to move things around in a small area, i.e., under a small parent folder. Though it's good to move things into a directory far from it initially in by using move, since I don't need to press tab to go to another panel and use paste if cut is implemented. But still, this is something nice to have.

+1 vote for "Cmd+C and Cmd+Opt+V (like in Finder)".

Seems like a basic feature, and the current solution is somewhat cumbersome. I would like to suggest / be grateful if this would get a high priority :-)

I fully agree with the others. I am amazed that Marta can do a lot of pretty advanced stuff already out of the box, but moving a single file without the other pane seems a bit cumbersome.

Hi, is there any update on this?

@yanex Would like to get any update on this. This is still one of the most pain point I have when using Marta as my daily file manager.
