Re: [ jEdit-users ] Text Drag

[Randall R S. <rrs...@cr...>]

Bryan,

I do indeed frequently and inadvertently activate drag-and-drop text 
editing in applications that implement it and I dislike it. It also tends 
to interact badly with double-click-and-drag (to extend selection by words).

I dislike all the "helper" functionality that's au courant these days: 
auto-completion, neon-sign text coloring, drag-and-drop text movement, etc.

In the bicycling world, I'm what's called a "retro-grouch."

Again, I request that this feature be an _option_ not mandatory.
