I think you just need to click and hold for a moment, until the text cursor turns into a pointer cursor. Then you can drag.

I decided to give TextMate a serious try and I'm writing a whole xHTML/PHP/CSS image gallery thing with it.

I own BBEdit but the program's clearly outdated in many ways... I spent a few hours customizing the color coding, snippets, etc... I'm totally considering switching... BUT...

There's one thing that is starting to get me pretty frustrated after a while: when you click and drag selected text to move it in your document you have to be super precise and select what I'm guessing is the area between the selection highlight and the text baseline. Anything else will just deselect the already selected text and restart the selection over... yuk....

Kinda of a deal breaker for me (probably 'cause I'm a sucky coder and I keep on moving stuff around ;)

Any chance of an update that would let you drag from any part of the highlight selection? I wouldn't even mind if it was an apple +drag or whatever...

my two cents... ;) ......................................... m i n i m a l d e s i g n 244 Fifth Avenue - Suite P233 New York, NY 10001-7604 USA
