Apple has added a copy-and-move trick with the keyboard. It’s been a long time standard feature in Apple Mac OS’s to copy a file by clicking it and typing Command-C, then pasting a copy somewhere else with Command-V, but if your intention was to move a file you would have to go back and delete the original copy after doing the Command-C & Command-V bit. But now in Lion, if you type Command-OPTION-V, it will move the file to your specified location and delete the original. This is a great time saver for us keyboard shortcut junkies.
