It might be impossible to implement, but I am sure many users will wonder why it does not work, so here is the idea: 1) Select some text with the mouse 2) Press the mouse over the selected text 3) While staying pressed, move the mouse to somewhere else, then release the mouse button. Expected: The text is cut-pasted from origin to destination. Actual: Nothing happens.
Good catch as an expected editing mode; in other examples of this, it could work as either a "live" cut-and-paste, or just flashing a caret where the new content would go.
Probably possible (at least in Chrome and Firefox).
I can see that work has started on this, with the mouse cursor changing to a "move that item" cursor, and the text caret trying to follow it (despite having some trouble at it sometimes). The text does not get moved yet, but I guess the issue is progressing :-)

What's the movement on this? Not trying to rush you guys - we have some users wondering :).
Gerrit change #69279 is drag-and-drop moving for images.
Images drag-and-drop positioning is now merged (in Gerrit change #69279) and will go live shortly; for non-media items, I've split that off as bug 49981, and am closing this.
