Good Morning

i am trying to find a program or a way to change the default Drag and Drop behaviour from a copy to a move when dragging into an external drive.

Preferably i can be selected as specific external drive rather than all but its something i can live with .

thanks

Pressing the Command key while dragging the item to a new location on another volume will move it, rather than copy it.

thank you i know the shortcut but i want it change by default so i don't have to hold any button

it would be as if the folders are on the same drive and the drag and drop will be a move and not a copy
