Drag and drop text editing

It's handy to be able to drag and drop to move/copy blocks of text.

I agree completely. Coming from an editor where I could select a block of text and then move it to where I want in a document is a feature that is sorely missed. Now I have to copy, cut and then paste to do the same. I love Sublime, but man... I really miss ability.

There's also another (duplicate?) feature request: Drag and drop highlighted block of text and a bug related to this: Moving text with mouse not working.

So happy to see this implemented in the 2.0 release!

It's not working for me for some reason. Do I have to explicitly enable it somewhere?

as far as I know it's only implemented on windows and mac - not linux :(
(see Build 2182 over on http://www.sublimetext.com/dev )

Hmm well I'm running OS X but still don't see it. :(

This is missing for me too: Snow Leopard 10.6.8, ST 2.0.1 build 2217 - no drag'n'drop or alt copy-drag-drop of selected text...

Still missing, still waiting, but still cynical that the developers will actually listen to these bug reports.
