cut, copy and paste
Is there a right click context sensitve menu that will allow for CUT and/or COPY and then PASTE like Windows has without all the Command-V key board clicks?

If you are referring to text handling (ie, selected text in Word, TextEdit, or Safari), then you can right-click it and have these options available.
For items in the Finder, you can select them and choose the "Copy" option that's about half-way down the contextual menu. Then right-click in an empty area of the destination, and you will see an option to paste the items there. This will perform a copying operation; however, if you hold the Option key then the "Paste Item" item will turn into "Move Item" which will move the copied selection to the current location.

Where do you mean? In TextEdit and other text apps there is.
Welcome,
Not sure exactly what you are asking regarding "clicks" - but standard Cut, Copy & Paste (Command-X, C or V) copies the file name not the file.
To do the windows equivalent to copy the file itself add the Shift key.

Thank you ... that was it. Apparently the MOVE TO is the equivalent of Windows CUT and PASTE.
