How to Cut and Paste Files in ComfortFiles

In ComfortFiles, cut and paste works on files the way it does in Windows Explorer: select, press ⌘X, go to the destination, press ⌘V. The file moves. No modifier tricks, no copy-then-move.

Steps

1. Select one or more files or folders.
2. Press ⌘X — or right-click and choose Cut.
3. Navigate to the destination folder (tree, tabs, or address bar).
4. Press ⌘V — or right-click empty space and choose Paste.

Copying works the same way with ⌘C. Nothing is moved or written until you paste.

Undo

Pasted into the wrong folder? ⌘Z undoes the move and puts the files back where they were. Redo with ⇧⌘Z.
