Did you know… Dragging and dropping text in the editor

There’s an option under Tools – Options – Text Editor – General to enable Drag and drop text editing. This option is on by default. This allows you to select a region of code and then drag it to a new location. I find this option most helpful by allowing you to drag and drop a variable or object directly upon the Watch Window.

Happy Editing!

If you are drag/dropping around windows, hold Ctrl to copy to the final destination (a plus sign should show up with the cursor).
