Drag & Drop Operations

Drag & Drop Operations

Atlantis allows you to perform so called Drag & Drop operations (moving text to another location, duplicating text).

To move a text fragment with the mouse,

  1. select the desired fragment of text,
  2. place the mouse pointer over the selected text,
  3. hold down the left mouse button, then start dragging the mouse (the shadow cursor indicates where the selected text would be moved to in case of releasing the mouse),
  4. release the mouse to drop the text to a new location, or press the Esc key to cancel operation.

If you wish to duplicate the selected text (to move not the original text to another location but its copy), hold the Ctrl key while dragging.

Note. The Drag & Drop operations are allowed if the Enable Drag & Drop Editing option (the Tools | Options... command, Edit tab) is on.
