How to quickly create desktop shortcuts for applications?

I'd like to create shortcut icons on desktop for applications I often run. Right now to create a single shortcut I have to do a lot of actions unnecessarily:

1. Go to Applications window.
2. Right click on the application.
3. Make alias.
4. Copy alias: Command + C.
5. Go to desktop.
6. Paste alias: Command + V.
7. Go back to Applications.
8. Delete the newly created alias icon for the application: Command + Delete.

That's so much clicking for something simple like that. No, you cannot Command + X to cut and paste the Alias from the Applications folder. The Macbook makes a funny noise when I press on Command + X in the Applications folder and when I press Command + V on the desktop, it pastes a previous Application that I copied in the past.

The way it should be:

One way:

1. Command + C on the application.
2. Go to desktop or any other place.
3. Right click - Paste alias or Control + Command + V, or something like that for the key bind.

Another way:

1. Right click on the application, Create Alias.
2. Drag and drop the Alias to desktop and the system moves the alias, not copy pastes the alias like it does now.

Third way:

Simply right click on the application and then Create shortcut on desktop.

Is there a way to simplify this process? An app or something that adds a context menu for the applications "Create shortcut on desktop" or something?
