Drag and Drop Actions in Outline View

Entire XML elements can be moved or copied in the edited document using only the mouse in the Outline view with drag-and-drop operations. Several drag and drop actions are possible:

• If you drag an XML element in the Outline view and drop it on another one in the same panel then the dragged element will be moved after the drop target element.
• If you hold the mouse pointer over the drop target for a short time before the drop then the drop target element will be expanded first and the dragged element will be moved inside the drop target element after its opening tag.
• You can also drop an element before or after another element if you hold the mouse pointer towards the upper or lower part of the targeted element. A marker will indicate whether the drop will be performed before or after the target element.
• If you hold down the (Ctrl (Command on OS X)) key after dragging, there will be performed a copy operation instead of a move one.

The drag and drop action in the Outline view can be disabled and enabled from a Preferences page.
