Drag and Drop to set up Containing/Governed topics

This has been on my list for a while now, so we definitely want to do something like this.

For those of you who posted in this thread, would you prefer "hot" drag and drop, or toggling a mode in which drag and drop is possible? If drag and drop is always active, you can end up accidentally messing with your hierarchy when you didn't intend to. This can be acceptable though, as drag and drop is always enabled in Windows File Explorer for example.
 
Much prefer being able to disable it. I still accidentally drag a folder into another one once in a while, which can be very annoying if you're not paying attention.

(The one I dislike the most, though, is drag and drop text editing. So easy to accidentally rearrange text. Thankfully most apps with it also have good undo support, but even so it's annoying to be jarred out of what you were doing and have to go fix it and make sure everything is OK before continuing when all you wanted to do was select something.)

As long as it is a gobal-ish setting "D&D On/Off" vs. something that has to be toggled for each item/grouping/window/tab/etc. You can please both types of users.

Click to expand...

For me either has their own pluses and minuses... simply having the capability is more than what we have.
 
I would say that a toggle would be best as it would then allow hot drag and drop for those who want it all the time and only have it active part of the time for people who are nervous about accidents.

+1 to this for me too. Either method is acceptable
 
I'd say either hot dnd with an undo option, or a right-click dnd with context menu like Windows gives you the option for.

+1
 
Just improve the UI for easier data entry, better work with it, allow for format changes, and as part of that, yes.... allow to drag and drop the tree and keep RW REMEMBER these kind of settings....
 
drag and drop, but maybe also cutting + pasting topics to move them (ctrl+x)/(ctrl+v), allow navigation through the tree like in most file explorers to navigat up, down, "left" (one level up) , "right" (on level deeper)

CTRL+up / down to jump to the next section?

space to open the topic the "current position" of the navigation pane is locked on.

"just typing in the navigation pane" will start to search for the current topic. E.g. you have the topics

1Xxxxxx
2yyyyyy
3zzzzzz
3zzzzzzz

Typing 3.. will jump the "active position" to the best matching topic. Pressing up and down now will only select eligble topics (in the case above only the last two).

Each Backspace will remove "one character" from filter...



tab to move from the "navigation column" to the editing / view column
