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.
