Duplicate text sections via drag and drop
Authored by: haumann on Jan 19, '05 02:55:27PM

I'm a little surprised that this is thought to be anything new. I can verify that Option-dragging a block of selected text within a document works (as described in the above hint) as far back as Mac OS 8.1 (and possibly even earlier).

Duplicate text sections via drag and drop

I believe this feature worked as far back as System 7.5 natively, and under System 7.0 and 7.1 via the Drag&Drop Extension (a.k.a. Macintosh Drag & Drop). So, yeah, it's been around a while ;) but it's one that few users seem to know about.
