Hi Joaquin,
First, to "move a file", you can do a "drag and drop": 1) highlight the file by left-button-click (red-click) on the file 2) start action by doing left-button-press-down (red-press-down) on the file 3) once you move the mouse, a small icon appears 4) drag to destination folder 5) finish by left-button-release
The file has to be already highlighted for the drag and drop to initiate, which is sort of annoying. Also, I do not think there is file cut/paste on the middle-click (blue-click) menu.
Now, to "copy a file", you do excatly as above, but, just before step 2), push the "SHIFT" button. The action is exactly the same, apart from the small icon it step 3 has a little "+" sign, signifying copy.
There is a interesting twist - you can change from "move" to "copy" and back in the middle of your action but pushing or releasing shift followed by a slight move of the mouse.
let me know in case this did not work for you,
Milan
