Unfortunately, I just received confirmation from an Apple engineer that my past failures at doing this are because Mac OS X has no support for selecting a menu item that has a submenu using a keyboard shortcut.  I'll see if we can think up some other way of moving things without mousing.  It would be very nice.

Thank you, share_inspiration.

I'm not sure that can be done, because I think that Mac OS X does not allow keyboard shortcuts to be assigned to menu items with submenus, such as BookMacster's Move to and Copy to.  (You notice that the other items in the contextual menu have keyboard shortcuts.)  Anyhow, I appreciate the problem – I've run into this issue myself, in other apps.

We are back to adding new features this week.  We'll try and figure out a way to get what you want.  It's a good suggestion.

it'd be great to have contextual menu items available in the menu bar so we can assign shortcuts to them.

I'd like to have a shortcut for "move" which for now appears only available when right clicking.

Thanks,
