Starting with OS X El Captain, the Cupertino developers have improved the desktop experience, making it even more convenient to use applications in full screen. There is only one thing that leaves discomfort – moving files by drag-and-drop between tables. The excellent Yoink utility will help to solve this problem.

Yoink is another clipboard that is a dime a dozen in the Mac App Store. But the fact is that there is no clear favorite that satisfies the tastes of most users, and therefore such reviews are more relevant than ever.
I would like to describe the Yoink utility in three words: lightweight, compact and well-configured. Definitely positive qualities for any programs.
Immediately after installing Yoink, it is enough to hook any file (group of files), text fragment or link with the cursor, and a platform will appear in the left central part of the screen where they can be moved.
By the way, the appearance of the “pocket” can be configured in three ways (changes in the program settings):
1. At the moment the cursor starts moving with the content being moved.
2. When the cursor with moving content approaches the edge of the screen.
3. In the direction of movement of the cursor with the content being moved.
Clearly:
Of course, there is no physical movement, but only the information about the location of the files is copied, which does not overload the RAM, which, as you know, does not happen much on a Mac.
Next, we surf the desktops of interest and only then move the files to the right place.
After this action, the files are physically moved, as if you had pressed the keyboard shortcut “⌘Cmd + C” and “⌘Cmd + V”, only in a more visual format, and the macOS clipboard can be reserved for other needs.
Yoink behaves just like Finder:
– To force a copy of a file, hold down the Option (⌥) key on your keyboard during the entire drag and drop operation.
– To force a file move, hold down the Cmd (⌘) command key during the entire drag operation.
Thus, thanks to Yoink, you can avoid unnecessary actions when, for example, you grab files with the mouse and at the same time start pirouettes with swipes on the touchpad to move to the desired location. And when there is no mouse and all actions are performed only with the help of the touchpad, it is not only wildly inconvenient, but also looks very funny.
The functionality of Yoink does not end there. Files can be pinned to the panel, and then they will not be cleaned (a special button clears the entire dock), and they can be manipulated at any time.
Another handy option is splitting files. If you add several files to the Yoink dock, then they are displayed as a group, but when you click a special button, the group will disintegrate, and all files will be available as a list.
In the settings, you can adjust the size of the panel and its position, as well as alternative display methods.
Of course, the developers did not forget about exceptions.
You can identify files on Yoink’s clipboard by icons or by using QuickLook (full format quick view).
In addition, Yoink allows you to move files between iPhone, iPad and Mac.
To do this, you need to install the mobile version of the program (link).
Yoink is very humane to system resources, it works instantly, without slowdowns and any other complaints.
Otherwise, the utility is suitable and will definitely find its user audience.
