Just thought I'd try this out and see if there is another option. If you right click on a card and dismiss the pop-up menu, then the edit menu changes to "Cut Card", "Copy Card", "Clear Card", and "Duplicate Card" although Clear and Duplicate don't seem to do anything. Probably not much more

Ill be dammed. Gobsmacked. It appears that the menu *ought* to change contextually when you click on a card, but doesn't. Right clicking on the card seems to force the IDE to focus on the card itself. Neat trick. It also reveals that the IDE was written and intended to allow

Some mobile UI’s, when first showing a scrolling list that extends below the visible area, will slightly “bounce” the list contents up then back down. This does double duty. It briefly reveals the hidden content and indicates that the list is scrollable. And it works regardless of screen
