Ah, I've just found the archive of my previous post on this - apologies for the repetition. The answer I received then (from Neil) was: "Scintilla calls the drag and drop functions with default or suggested arguments which should result in default behaviour. For example, gdk_drag_status(context, context->suggested_action, dragtime). The Shift key switches to move." I guess my gripe then is that default or not, this is not very obvious or intuitive behaviour - and evidently not just to me. Even when instructed to use the shift key both I and the OP got it wrong! -- Lionel B _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
