[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1219238, member: 59143"] It works, just different keys to do the job. If you simply want to copy, you can double tap on the trackpad, then drag the cursor over which ever files/folders you want. Then double tap and don't let go, while dragging. If you want to move, and not copy, just hold down the CMD/Apple key. This is basically the equivalent to cutting rather than just copying. Other methods: Hold down CMD to selectively choose files/folders in icon view. In list view, if you hold down Shift, you can select something, use the up/down arrow and it will then highlight each subsequent file/folder above or below it. From there, just double tap-drag and drop. Quite easy and effective . Doug Edit: Make sure you have spring loaded folders enabled so that you don't necessarily have to have more than one Finder window open at the same time. This option is found in the Finder menu preferences.. general tab on the bottom. I set the delay to the shortest length. [/QUOTE]
