How to cut and paste in Mac book - I have recently moved from Window to Mac OS platform and struggling with daily small tasks, so thought to make a list for daily tricks I'm learning so it will be helpful for other users as well. To use the cut-paste function on Macbook - Copy the file or folder using the usual Command + C When pasting , use the Command + Option + V instead of Command + V. This will move the file/folder instead of creating a copy.
