Please take care of this ASAP...

I don't think this can be taken care of with Macros or existing 
commands, so it might have to be "hard coded" into TM, which will take 
longer... it's on my personal to-do/mission list

What would be nice is a per-language drag hook. For example, for shell 
scripts, I'd like to have the raw path of a file or folder, rather than 
the file content or directory listing. For XML, I might want a 
relative XPath, calculated from project root.

(And then, of course, we need a $TM_MODIFIER_KEYS variable to allow 
modification of drop behavior...)
