Hi All,

I was wondering whether it would be possible to introduce to textmate the following functionality. The situation is the following:

I have two larger groups of texts, under subheadings. They show the fold sign next to the line numbers. They are folded.

|> AAAAAA |> BBBBBB

I want to move the whole subsection BBBBBB above AAAAA. It seems to me logical to click and hold the mouse on the folded sign, and move upwards/downwards the whole folded chunk.

|> BBBBBB |> AAAAAA

Would be this functionality helpful for anybody? I think it would be great, and quicker than Cmd+C and Cmd+V. Is it possible to introduce this?

You can already move a folded block of text. Though not in the way you describe: 1. Put cursor at beginning of line showing the fold. 2. Shift+DownArrow. 3. Cmd+x. 4. Navigate to where you want to insert. 5. Cmd+v.

Dragging and dropping the fold marker is not very precise, and could cause problems if the destination if off the screen and has to be scrolled to find.
