How to CUT & Paste? (+ why can't I type in the "summary" box below?)

Okay, now I can type my summary, as a reply. Weird...
The question has been asked before, but I have yet to find the solution. I am moving many files in many places and it's a drag (no pun intended). I would like to be able to press command-X and command-V but that doesn't work. Someone mentioned something about pressing command-C, then choosing "move files here" from the context menu instead of the default "copy files here".
The first problem is that I do not have this option in my context menu. There is "copy files here", but that's it.
Although that would be better than dragging and dropping, it is still a bit more tedious than a keyboard shortcut, especially when you are doing a lot of "re-organization"!
So, could anyone tell me how to get the "move files here" option in the context menu, and/or either use "command-X" to "cut" the files, "command-V" to paste them - or - "command-C" to copy files as usual, and something like "command-X" or "command-M" to move them.
Thanks in advance.

Command-Option-V works perfect. Thank you very much!
