- Select the file in one finder window
- Copy file to another finder window
=> I need this file to be selected in the second finder windows after copying finishes.
You can use the Reveal a File action for that.

Thanks but I am not sure how exactly to do that. Also, will it work for a few files?
This should be quite simple with Keyboard Maestro. One question - how are you choosing the folder to copy to?
- Select a file in Finder.
- Copy/Move it to another location - but how are you selecting the location to copy/move to? From a list of destination folders? Always to the same folder?
And do you want to copy the file or move it (i.e. delete the original)?

Using a script shared by @unlocked2412 in the thread Reveal multiple files in Finder, something like this might work for you:
Copy files to next finder window- select files at destination.kmmacros (20 KB)
EDIT: Made a slight adjustment to the uploaded macro

This one works. Thank you!

I believe it should look something like this:
Copy files to next finder window- select files at destination v0.3.kmmacros (19 KB)
EDIT: I see now that this would not work, I’ll update my macro to something I again believe should work once I am home by my computer in an hour.
EDIT2: Sorry for first uploading an untested and non-working makro, I was in a bit of a hurry when uploading it. The one I've uploaded now works, at least here on my system (of course only if i define a path to the FilePath-variable though)

Here's another way of doing what OP wants -- it'll grab the target of the second Finder window, do the copy, then select the just-moved files using an easy-to-read whose clause:
Copy Selection to Next Finder Window, Select Result.kmmacros (18.3 KB)
