provides:

  • drag and drop of selected text (in same document)
  • LMB+drag selected text to move it elsewhere
  • or LMB on selection and then LMB at destination (if sticky is enabled)
  • hold ctrl on release to copy selection
  • press escape to abort

changes:

  • (regretably) dragged selection is no longer deleted when drag starts
    this follows procedure that most editors use.
  • ctrl is checked on release, previously on drag-start/mouse-down
  • added sticky mode to help against finger strain from holding mouse
    button during entire drag procedure
  • moved/copied portion is now selected after operation
  • during drag operation an extra caret is shown to indicate exact
    insertion location and real caret is not blinking
  • adds commands to toggle sticky mode and entire plugin

stage one: non sticky basics work

- need to add caret while dragging so user knows perfectly where text
will be inserted
- need to add sticky mode properly
- test that holding two buttons and releasing right doesn't mess things
