Drag and drop

After selecting some text or some nodes, it's possible to drag this selection and drop it elsewhere inside or outside XMLmind XML Editor (XXE for short). Just remember that you'll have to press the Alt key while dragging the selection. Other than this, dragging works as expected.

Now if you drop some text —whether plain text or well-formed XML— inside XMLmind XML Editor, XXE will display a popup menu allowing copy or move this text before, into or after the drop location.

The behavior of XXE will differ if the text you are dropping can be parsed as an URL (e.g. file:/C:/Program%20Files/XMLmind_XML_Editor/demo/dita-sample.ditamap) or is the absolute path of an existing file (e.g. C:\Program Files\XMLmind_XML_Editor\demo\dita-sample.ditamap):
