Hi all,
I have tested the drag and drop procedures an, it works!!! :)

However , I find it very complex for just moving a file(s) /folder(s).

To make it more similar to the windows system: ctrl+x and ctrl+v, I am thinking 
about  the following solution:

One script with hotkey : option+x:
contents of the script:
vo+command f5: route mouse-cursor to vo-cursor 
vo+command+shift+spacebar: to lock the mouse button
end of script
Then move the vo-cursor to the target location

new script with hotkey : option+v:
vo+command+f5: to route the mouse-cursor to the vo-cursor
vo+command+shift+spacebar: to unlock the mousebutton
Last (optional) step here is to turn off mouse tracking.
This is needed while working with a braille display and I don't know the 
shortcut for that.

With this 2 scripts, you can do drag and drop with option+x and option+v , like 
in windows.

Can someone help with writing this scripts?
I don't know anyting about apple scripts.

This should be usefull in alot applications and very userfriendly I think.

Thanx alot,
best regards,
William Windels
