Drag & drop text editing
Highlight and drag text for ease of editing (instead of cut & paste). Also, grabbing a space when highlighting a word, in both drag & drop and cut & paste.

I definitely use drag and drop throughout my writing and editing process. Would love to see this feature added. -

Fathom Colcleaser MergedCan you please add a feature to drag and drop sentences or words. If I find that the sentence works better in another place I have to retype the sentence.

Lydia PedersenIn Google Docs, I was able to highlight any chunk of words no matter the size (usually sentences) and drag them to a new area. With Dabble, if I want to move something that isn't an entire scene, I have to copy and paste it to the new position, and delete the original text. This interrupts my flow a bit. It would save me so much time to be able to drag my highlighted text around when I want to rearrange it.

Craig McEwan14 votes? I genuinely thought this would be top of everyone's wish list. Dabble is just about the only modern app location I know in which
you can't drag and drop, and I really miss it. Apart from that, I LOVE Dabble, and I love that it's uncluttered and simple. Please don't turn it into a monster like Scrivener by adding loads of distracting but unnecessary functions. (I have upvoted the request for an Undo/Redo button though.)
