Hi @leroydouglas, your recommendation is perfect for Textedit but my request is for Finder. Specifically it is about cutting&pasting files.

If it is not working as expected you can  you can submit your Apple Feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback or file a bug report through the same link.

• MBP (15", 2017) running Catalina 10.15.7 here. I've noticed that, since a few days, Option+Command+V, which I use to "cut+paste" as opposed to just "copy+paste", has stopped working.

Procedure:

select one file in Finder

• type Command+C

• in a different folder type Option+Command+V

If I reboot my Mac the functionality, briefly, comes back. But after a little while, with no notice, it vanishes again.

Plain Command+V works just fine but that's not enough.

Has anyone any ideas on how to troubleshoot or resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

shortcuts.: Command X: Cut the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard

Mac keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support

It works for me.

Does this occur for a different user, e.g., Guest ?

Does this occur after starting up in Safe Mode? 

Consider the possibility of a third party software conflict.  EtreCheck can be used to investigate what is installed.  Give it Full Disk Access. You can post the report here. Someone might spot something.
