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...
