[QUOTE="xstep, post: 398753, member: 11647"] Can't all of those features be set up to be triggered by the hot corner method? I personnaly think that for most people, your average non geek e-mail & browser user, the clean and minimalist setup is best. Fewer options means less confusion for them. For you and many others it would be nice to have the extra power available via different methods. Many people like keyboard shortcuts because it makes using features much quicker than wasting time dragging a mouse around to target some selection value. Apple does have a keyboard shortcut list for the Finder available on their site and you can see it via the preferences app somehow too. There are some third party tools available, but they havn't appealed to me yet. When in detail mode, perform a command click on the window title. A list will appear starting with your current location and listing each folder leading to the top level. The cut option of Windows has always bothered me. But I do agree some quicker way to move files would be nice. I've been using the drag & drop method where when you drag a selection to a new folder and hold it there, the folder opens up and you can continue down the folder list until you find the location you really want the contents moved to. The great thing about the internet is the availability of information. You may not find the exact answer you want, but alternatives can be very helpful. [/QUOTE]
