    And yes, the folders are on different disks.
    Still, there should be a way to move stuff within the Finder, or?

    Command + Drag moves the files if they are on an external drive...
    (Just 'moved' a 8GB folder from my external SSD to my local drive).

  • Press Option when the right-click context menu is open.

    Do it when pasting.

    The Option key opens additional, well, options in lots of contexts so it's worth always trying. For example, Force Quitting an application in the Dock.

  • Or learn some keyboard shortcuts ;)

    Command + C to 'copy'
    Alt/Option+Command+V to 'move'

    (These can be seen when you bring up the 'edit' menu and hold down Alt/Option).

  • Yeah, I'm doing a poor job of leading to water.

    • Select your items
    • Right-click and choose Copy ( Or CMD-C, dealer's choice )
    • Move to the destination directory
    • Right-click
    • See Paste Item[s] and press the Option key
    • Paste Item[s] becomes Move Items Here

    Make sure that during the paste operation you're right-clicking either on the folder itself, or an empty area if the current view is in the destination folder.

  • Yeah, I should add that I don't drag and drop under most circumstances. Waaaay too many times I've had a mouse hiccup or accidental release cause me to drop things in a random directory. As a 25 year systems administrator I've seen a ton of evidence over the years that I'm far from alone in that issue.

    I'm a vim/tmux user that relies on a tiling window manager. You want keyboard hotkeys I got you.

    A tiling window manager that can run on macOS?

    I'm fairly certain I've already touted Yabai in this thread, but just in case: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai As I recall, you discarded it because for full functionality it requires partially disabling SIP. Although for basic BSP tiling and window management I don't think anything is required.

    I haven't tried it yet, but Amethyst is the other primary option.

    Currently, I am pretty happy with "Rectangle" as better experience on macOS.

    Yeah, Rectangle was my favorite of the multitude of various window management utilities out there. The dev has some other nifty apps, too.

    I don't use MacPorts at all, so I can't help there. I cloned the Yabai repo because the 'the-future' branch has updates for Monterrey and Apple Silicon, but isn't yet in stable/main. Once you have the source local and check out the 'the-future' branch it's just a matter of running make in the repo root to build the binary. Sounds like you likely already have the build tooling.

    I think an updated stable release is coming shortly, like EOM at the latest.

    Any other idea why I could have this giant amount of backups in this folder?
    Very irritating.
    Can I savely delete this?

    Below "MobileSync" there is only a folder "Backup" and only one folder "0083b379e97b475a38150c2f945e8de7b10abc72" in this.

    In Finder select your iPad and check under 'General' and Options, if 'Automatically sync when this iPad is connected' is enabled.
    To delete the 'backups' tap 'Manage Backups' and delete them...

    ...If I'm not mistaken this is enabled by default for new devices (I always turn it off since I manage my Backups manually) or it asks if you want to sync it...
    (I do periodical full encrypted backups in case I would transfer to a new iPad and wish to retain 'everything').

    Cheers!

    I did connect one of my iPads to the Mac, because I enabled sending Xcode builds to this device ...
    Then macOS silently made a backup, even as I have no iTunes installed at all?

    Since a few macOS revisions back all iDevice backups are done in the finder without the need to use iTunes.
    Even though there are 'iTunes' references on the hard-drive there's no actual iTunes app anywhere to be found :smiley:
    (It's most likely legacy code since the same app can run on multiple revisions of the OS).

    You're not alone, I also found it quite disturbing when iOS devices started making unsolicited backups / syncs (I'm not even sure what the difference is anymore) a few macOS releases ago... just imagine some poor soul actually has a fixed backup schedule and wanted to restore the previous backup because they've messed something up... well, out of luck, as macOS also was "friendly" enough to overwrite the backup with the messed up state :)

    (this would be forgivable if there were actually incremental backups with a daily, weekly, monthly schedule or so... but that would probably be "too advanced"...)
