Created attachment 150458 [details] Screen shot of ui component and right click menu. It may not be typical, but I sometimes work on projects that have a large number of dependencies and large (>30) Source Roots. When the order of the Source Roots is incorrect it is necessary to edit the source roots. Perhaps I don't know where to look, but I can't find a keyboard shortcut to move items up/down in the list. The right-click menu displays "Add Source Root" "Move Up" "Move Down" "Reset Order". "Add Source Root" always adds to the bottom of the list. Sometimes I want to move a single item to the top of the list. Or I want to move an item to the bottom of the list. Or I want to move multiple items. Drag and Drop would be really nice. I usually don't have to mess with the Source Root order, but when I do it can destroy a morning. Repeat this cycle 30+ times: 1:Scroll to find the item 2:Right click it 3:Select Move Up 4:Goto step 1 I'm requesting: 1)Keyboard-able actions to Move up/down. If they already exist, I'm requesting a hint on hover or an underline on alt or some UI indication of how to manipulate the list from the keyboard. 2)"Move to Top" / "Move to bottom" action. This alone would get me 80% of the functionality 3) Click and drag to reorder as done in the Netbeans ordered node tree..
Makes sense. Is it enough to make the items draggle by mouse (including multi selection)? You will select items to move and drag them to correct position.
Yes, being able to drag items would address my complaint.
