    How to move files in Finder without using the mouse?

    I am trying to move files around between folders in the Finder. I'm amazed to discover there is no Move menu option.

    I'm thinking of switching, where should I go for info(besides here!)

    A quick background. I am a retired software engineer/architect with 40 years experience in IT. I've worked on many OS, including MacOS9 and early MacOSX (up to Lion) on my old Motorola iBook(which is still in use as an iTunes player for my HiFi) but mostly I've been using Linux for the last...
