Also, last time this was discussed, we never reached consensus on what 
mouse-down-drag should do.  I.e. whether it should move the node, or cause the 
selection of multiple nodes.  I hadn't really noticed :-) but current 
implementation has adopted select multiple nodes.

I think the more common behavior (in situations where nodes are tree movable) 
is for mouse-down-drag to move them, and shift-click and ctrl-click to handle 
multiple selection.

The node trees on the left side of GoogleEarth and in Firefox bookmark editing 
seem like a nice example of convenient node moving to me, I'd like to see 
something like that.

I use Leo for both coding *and* PIM and other data management tasks, so I 
appreciate the utility of easy node moving, and don't think keyboard shortcuts 
are as fluid in cases where your shuffling a bunch of nodes around trying to 
get a useful arrangement without really knowing what that arrangement will look 
like ahead of time.

So yep, it's definitely on the list.
