And in the standard Mac OS for many years. 

For me, control-dragging in Word (2011?) gives me a menu asking what I want 
to do, which is  more control-like behavior.

(Originally there was no control-key on the Mac keyboard, and now control 
normally is confined to contextual-menu stuff, at least for native apps.)

Thanks! I thought I had tried all the combinations but I hadn't.
Sorry about the duplicate post; it took a long time to appear and I was 
wondering if it got lost somehow.

Option, in place of Control, is the magic key for drag–drop copy–paste in
BBEdit.

Drag the selection and then hold down the Option (⌥) key when releasing the 
mouse button.

This works in most Mac applications, including MS Word.

In some apps (such as Word 2011), highlighting text, then clicking on it 
and ctrl-dragging it will duplicate it in the new location. It would be 
great if that worked in BBEdit. (Or if that fact were discoverable in the 
documentation). Help, please!

In some text editors (Word 2011, in particular), highlighting a selection, 
clicking on it, pressing and holding the control key, then dragging, will 
create a copy and place it where the cursor is when the mouse button is 
released. I can't make this happen in BBEdit. Does the feature exist

without using the clipboard (which already has something on it). Yes, I
