On a MacBook Pro m1 is there a move to option in finder for files ? I always use copy or drag and drop which isn’t always the easiest and can’t always be done this way and time consuming.

Command-Option-V is a "MOVE", not a copy and delete. Did you even give it a try?

Yes that's how I do it most the time using copy button then deleting old. I just think it would be more beneficial to have a move to button like Windows OS and most Other OS's also even Linux has a move to button or selection lol. Thanks though was hoping there was a hidden feature like Move to option above.
Select a file and copy it to the clipboard with cmd+C. At your move destination folder, press the option key and cmd+V and the file is moved.
You can visualize this by selecting the file in the Finder, and on the Finder's secondary menu, you can select Copy, and at the move destination, again reveal the Finder secondary menu and you will see Paste Item. When you press the option key, that menu item changes to Move item here.
First of all it can be done it’s very simple and second it’s what the customers ask for just like laptop were lacking ports now it comes with ports due to customers complaining

The whole point in this question is to see if there is an alternate route it’s not in any way beneficial to copy to then delete old. That’s the point of the question. Soon there will be one with the amount of customers asking for it, just like what happen with ports on Mac laptops.
Apple did not design macOS to be Windows or Linux. It is a UNIX operating system with Finder as a user interface abstraction designed to work as it does, not as how you would like it.
