moving list and checkbox items

[ceg]

Idea: A feature to drag and drop complete list or checkbox items (all text up to the next item) up/down to change their order on the page.

Drag and drop with the mouse may require changing the state of checkboxes with the right mouse button, to avoid unintended state changes while moving checkboxes around.

Well, maybe this could even allow to reorder paragraphs (headings).

Other frequent item movement operations besides the free drag and drop and one item up/down movement (maybe for the right mouse button menu) would be:

move item to top/bottom in: its list, its page, of another page

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm wondering what should trigger this action. Normal drag in the text starts a selection - maybe make a special case of dragging a check box ?

[ceg (ceg)]

Yes, I was thinking there already has to be an exception for simple left clicking on a checkbox (currently to change its state). It could instead be used to trigger the start of a drag and drop operation.

(I have left clicked and changed a checkbox state in the past accidentially, when selecting text. Thus maybe using right clicks instead, or even a right mouse button menu, to modify an item may also be ok.)
