    • “Copy Here…” and “Move Here…” — The reverse of “Copy To”. Right-click a folder (or empty space in a window) and choose files or folders from anywhere to copy into it.

    • Finder: Paste plain text as file with ⌘V — When the clipboard contains plain text, pressing ⌘V in Finder creates a text file. Previously this only worked with images.
