Description ulfzibis 2004-07-12 13:00:56 UTC 
With the mouse you can mark some text in the editor.
To move/copy the marked text now you should use
ctrl-X/ctrl-C and ctrl-V or the
right-mouse-button-menu.
I propose a moving (as it is implemented in MS
Word for example) by holding the left mouse button
on the marked text, moving th mouse and releasing
the left mouse button at the new position. Copying
shoud be done by simultaneously pressing the Ctrl-key.

Or: ...Copying shoud be done by simultaneously pressing the right
mouse button.
Comment 2 ulfzibis 2004-12-06 00:12:12 UTC 
Please give this useful enhancement a chance. It goes on my nerves
that I allways have to use ctrl-X/ctrl-C and ctrl-V or the
right-mouse-button-menu.

Again, apologies, I do not agree that importance of this issue is P1.
If you think this issue is really important make other people vote for
issue 2337. Add your comments to the main issue - 2337, as the other
ones are marked as duplicate of it.
Comment 5 ulfzibis 2004-12-08 18:13:33 UTC 
As a not so experienced Issuezilla user I didn't really know, if it's
my job to set the priority or the developer's. So I tried it to see
what happens.
Sorry for doing wrong. Now I more understand using Issuezilla.

Moving to the 'other' subcomponent.
