Listmembers:

Ever since the introduction of the NFS with subfilters I now find that
I seriously miss a feature that was available with the old filtering
system: we used to be able to Ctrl-drag/drop an existing filter
resulting in a copy of the dragged filter being created in the
position where it was dropped.

Now, moving filters around requires depressing the Alt-key and when
combined with Ctrl, the filter gets moved below the filter it is
dropped on top of.

I really, really miss the drag/copy-functionality. I regularly need to
make new filters and have them organized in groups that are internally
sorted alphabetically (all list-filters together, all newsletter
filters together a.s.o.). All I can do now to make things less
difficult is copy/paste (having to answer whether or not I want to
replace the current one, which I don't think most people usually want
to do) and it is literally a drag to have to move the newly copied
filter from the bottom of the list to where I want it.

At the very least, a 'paste here'-option would be welcome.

On further investigation tough, it would seem to me that the entire
logic of the drag/drop and otherwise move-interface of the sorting
office can get some improvements.

Compare, for instance the bookmark sorting in Opera's browser.

* There is no need to depress any modifier keys in order to start a
move.

* Depressing Ctrl instigates copy instead of move as expected (default
windows behaviour nowadays).

* A thick horizontal line indicates when moving 'between' items
instead of 'into'

* The left starting point of the thick horizontal line indicates at
which level the moved item will be placed in case there is an expanded
folder above it.

Also, I would love to use subfilters to 'group' all listserver and
newsletter filters together, but was wondering if it was ok to use a
filter that matches on anything to do this.
