I am having issues on my new iMac. Now when I drag a file into another folder it will copy to that folder. I am trying to move the file not copy it. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
That is the same for me. Alt/Option-drag forces copy, cmd-drag forces a move.
Usually on non-mac keyboards windows key is cmd and Option/Alt is Alt - but that is changeable in System Preferences -> keyboard -> keyboard tab -> modifier keys. You can also change the modifiers on the Mac keyboard. Since I come from the old school - my Tab is setup as cmd to emulate a Sun type keyboard.
Ok, I'll fess up. On my keyboard, they put the Mac commands on the wrong keys. So I have a Cmd/Alt key (I think - not at my Mac). Anyway, I did as suggested and switched it in SysPrefs so that what I see is what it does.
