[nabs-l] Moving Files and folders on the Mac?

[Nallym Bravo]

Hi Nicole,
If you're using OSx Lion, there's a new way to drag and drop files.
Both the source and desired target  locations must be on the screen for this to work.
First, mark the item(s) you want to move using VO keys plus comma. Navegat to the target location. To drop the files you can press vo keys plus shift plus comma to drop the items before the voiceover cursor, vo plus period to drop the item on the voiceover cursor, or vo keys plus shift plus period to drop the item after the cursor.

If you haven't upgraded yet, you can still drag and drop, but it's a little messier.
Make sure that mouse tracking is turned on.
1. Move the voiceover cursor to the item you want to move.
2. Make sure that the mouse is locked by pressing vo command shift space.
3. Move the voiceover cursor to the desired location
4. Unlock the mouse by pressing vo command shift space.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I don't know much about it, because I don't use it.  I just copy the files, and then delete them from the folder I wanted to move them from.  I think this is a safe guard by Apple to keep folks from losing data.

To move, you type command C to copy and command/option/V to paste.  The files will then be deleted from their original folder and be placed in the new one.
