DragAndDrop

As of Version 10.4, DragAndDrop is no longer supported.

DragAndDrop

is a global front end option that specifies whether to allow drag‐and‐drop editing.

Details

With DragAndDrop->True, dragging an already‐selected region cuts the region from its original location and pastes it at the location you move to.
DragAndDrop may not be available on some computer systems or with some windowing environments.

Turn DragAndDrop on for the current session:

Wolfram Language code: SetOptions[$FrontEndSession, DragAndDrop -> True]

Create a notebook to try drag-and-drop editing:

Wolfram Language code: nb = CreateDocument[{TextCell["one two three", "Text"]}];

Select a piece of text and drag it:

Reset the option to its initial setting:

Wolfram Language code: SetOptions[$FrontEndSession, DragAndDrop -> Inherited]
