Mouse Boost - Right-Click Powerhouse
One of the most useful features of Finder replacements like
PathFinder or Qspace Pro is the enhanced right-click menus they offer
with features like cut, copy and paste for files and the ability to
create different types of new files among others. Not everyone wants to
replace Finder though for various reasons like security and system
overhead. Luckily, there is a handy utility, MouseBoost,
from developer gmshrek that adds numerous features to the right-click
menu in Finder itself.
