iCanCut

iCanCut is here to save the day for those of you who are new to Mac OS X and feeling a bit let down by the lack of hotkey options for cutting and pasting files. This handy little app sits right in your Mac's status bar, making it super easy to use.

Easy File Management with iCanCut

Once you install iCanCut, you'll notice a new icon in your status bar. With this app, you can finally cut a file using the good old Command + X hotkey and then paste it wherever you want with Command + V. It's like bringing back an old friend!

Launch on Login for Convenience

You can even set up iCanCut to launch automatically when you log in. That way, it’s always ready to go without any fuss. Just open your Finder, and you're all set!

How It Works with Finder

A quick note: while iCanCut triggers the cut and paste actions, the actual transferring happens through the Finder app. So when you're moving large files, you'll see a progress dialog pop up. If something goes wrong or if you change your mind, no worries—you can cancel that operation anytime.

No More Losing Files!

This app has got your back! When you cut a file, it copies the name to the clipboard but keeps the original file safe until you actually paste it somewhere else. Plus, iCanCut ensures that hotkeys only work when you're in Finder so they won’t mess with other apps.

Status Bar Notifications

The icon in your status bar is super helpful too—it'll let you know if your cut was successful or if another application changed what's on your clipboard. Pretty neat, right?

A Must-Have App for Mac Users!

In conclusion, while iCanCut may be small, it packs a punch! It delivers exactly what many Mac users have been wanting: quick and easy keyboard shortcuts for cutting and pasting files and folders.
