Menu
Is it possible to drag selected text to move it? This is in almost every other editor (not to mention text input fields in browsers.) I was surprised not to find it in VS Code.
Here is a gif example.

Like files and folders, there are many ways to move text once it is selected: Cut using Ctrl+X, move your cursor to the new location of text, then paste to the new location with Ctrl+V. Copy using Ctrl+C, move your cursor to the new location of text, then paste to the new location with Ctrl+V.
This is now supported as of Feb 2017 release (1.10.1) but it is disabled by default.
To enable it: Go to File > Preferences > Settings and add this line "editor.dragAndDrop": true

Looks like it's not yet implemented, but there's an open issue about it.
