Description from the creator

One might wonder why Apple keeps calling macOS the most advanced desktop OS available while there is no cut-paste feature in the default file browser. Well, the trick is hidden under the nose (or a keypress, if you wanna call it that)! See the video to learn the trick. Note that the video was recorded on a much older version of the OS but works on almost all macOS versions, at least till macOS 15 (Sequoia).
