Hi Krister, I use the num pad for that. Control surfaces typically offer the ability to tab to regions and select them if the Shift button on the surface is invoked but I've never seen a dedicated facility to move regions. That said, the original Control|24 and, I believe, the Pro Control, had numeric keypads built into their panels that allowed you to nudge just like you would with a keyboard. In fact, the Pro Control had an entire qwerty keyboard built into it. There is a way to move a selection range around from a surface but that's not terribly handy if you can't see whether the range encapsulates the regions you wish to cut, copy or paste.
