Drag and Drop mods into Mods?

I could see myself using a feature like that, but I've not idea how often - there have been times I've done the 'copy a module->move into another module->paste->move back out' sequence though 🙂

I'd appreciate ctrl-click'n'drag as other applications do for quick copying.

I would just like it to be simple like with windows folders... It could even give you an option "move mod here" or "copy mod here"... Right now i just copy the modules, go into ther module i want to paste into, paste into the mod, exit the mod, and delete the copied mod(s).. It would be easier to "move mod into module" This may be quick and easy to do.. Or the rest of the community may not find as much a use for this feature as me? Whaddaya guys think? Peace and Science 🙂 😀 😉

Why do you copy instead of cut, and then paste? That way you wouldn't have to go back to delete the source module, right?

I think theres lots of simple right click commands that could be added to SM but i think the menus getting to around the right max size now, when theres too much stuff it can become annoying so it would have to be something like hold down Alt or Ctrl key while dragging. IMHO though i think that this is the type of feature to add but much later on after the important stuff has been added, im sure theres hundreds of simple things like this that you could add to make things simpler though so its quite a good idea i think. But one thing that comes to mind is where would the new copied module be added in the schematic, top left corner or to the same position as the module on the higher level, and also you would then have to double click the module to go into it to position the module ect but this would then unselect the selection.
