Folks,
GNU Emacs alllows draggin mouse to create selection.
I was wondering why is isn't there a drag and drop editing support also.
Could something like the following be done ?
(defun drag-cut-copy-paste (start-event)
"Drag and drop editing."
(interactive "e") (if mark-active
(progn
; track mouse and inert cut/copied text at the mouse up location
)
(progn (mouse-drag-region start-event) ) ) )
(global-set-key [(down-mouse-1)] drag-cut-copy-paste)

Might exist, but if not, probably because you can do:
Mouse-1 start region
Double Mouse-3 end region, and kill
Mouse-2 insert kill

I can't see why something like this wouldn't work...
