| Nov 4, 2016 at 15:06 | comment | added | Tetsujin | If you move a file on the same partition it simply moves to the new location. If you move it to another partition it will copy [same as any OS would]. If you hold Cmd whilst dragging, it will move instead. ...If you want to move using only key commands, then you Cmd/C to copy [Cmd/V of course to Paste] or Cmd/Opt/V to Move. | |

| Nov 4, 2016 at 14:32 | comment | added | Arun | @Tetsujin To move a file in mac, i have to copy it to the new location and then delete it from the original location, correct me if I am wrong. To me this is rather inefficient. I could read on the browser, but since I work on a small screen and because sometimes equations don't render correctly in a browser, I like to read on a real pdf program. And partly it is just an old habit. | |
| Nov 4, 2016 at 14:06 | comment | added | Tetsujin | We seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding here... what makes you think you can't move a file? Also, you realise you don't actually have to 'Open' an online pdf to read it, you can read it right there in the browser [with it being downloaded to a temporary area & deleted later as the cache expires] | |
