Files are not copied to clipboard properly on macOS

[engilyin]

It could be really useful to have the cut/copy/paste files and dirs functionality.
Accessible form context menu, toolbar, standard shortcats(Ctrl/Command+XCV) and main menu.

I found copy file in the context menu but seems like it has another meaning.

The CUT could be very useful if you are working in single pane mode. Or want to paste it into other app(E.g. Finder/Explorer/Favorite IDE etc)

@ahadas I thought this was implemented at some point already, but I just realize it's not working in v.1.0.0-1 macOS.

Can you share the status quo of this feature with us, please?

@LeeBinder Since OP didn't answer, I'm going to answer for him. I'm running v.1.1.0 of MuCommander under MacOS and the shortcut doesn't even exist. Is it only a MacOS issue or is it fully known under every platform?

Hi @dzkm . I'm running muC. v.1.2.0 latest snapshot in macOS: same thing, still no "Cut" option in the menu. Cmd+X only offers to move to the selected folder into the other pane, which is not the native cut&paste functionality.

I haven't checked in Windows yet.

@ahadas ?

@ahadas Thank you for v.1.2.0.1 final. I have hopes you would finally enable native cut & paste via Ctrl-/Command +X -> +V in v.1.3.0 👍

I'm changing the scope of this issue:

adding a cut operation is problematic since I think we shouldn't remove the file until it's pasted and Java doesn't seem to notify an application when the file is pasted outside of the application. specifically under macOS there's no need for cut operation since the file is removed from the source when pasting the file with META+ALT+V (i.e., the operation is turned into move rather than copy). so this part is dropped.

as for I found copy file in the context menu but seems like it has another meaning. which is also what #982 refers to, that's a regression with newer versions of macOS that wasn't fixed in OpenJDK but I saw there's a fix for that by JetBrains that we can use.
