I mean that's just called moving. Another way to do cut + paste, except on MacOS we don't have this specific option, vs every other OS I've used, we do.
What do you mean? It is a direct substitute for the cut action on Windows (and Linux desktops which copied the shortcuts from Windows) with a minimal change to how you use it. Cut and paste is just moving as well, and I don't think you have an exact equivalent to option+v on other OSes either.
I never said it prevented me from moving files. I said it was annoying to be missing the option to do it that specific way. It's just a personal preference.
Fair enough, I suppose. I guess I can understand considering I've spent significant effort to remap keys on Linux (especially cmd/ctrl) to be more like the Mac equivalent so the key sets I change between aren't as different from each other.
If that were true, it wouldn't bother me, but it's not. You can move files by dragging on at least windows, if between drives you just need to hold shift iirc
