I think what the user is trying to say: I'm moving a large number of files to different locations. So selecting a large number of files and copy pasting isn't really helpful. I can imagine navigating to a folder, selecting the right file, copy, navigate to the other folder, paste etc. to be very inefficient. I can imagine in such a case a copy to / move to feature is useful and I have seen that feature in a lot of other places.

Of course the user would be helped somewhat if he understood what cut meant and the other commenter isn't really helpful in this aspect. Just saying: "There is cut" doesn't help if the user doesn't understand what cut means.

Also calling a user out like this is really uncool, the user obviously doesn't have English as a first language and/or has trouble expressing their selves. This doesn't invalidate them or their request.

Totally agree.

Ok, folks, one of us needs to do a PR on this app to implement this fella's feature request!

I’ll add it my list of things I want to do but never get round too.
