And if I have only one hand? (which isn't the case)
Of course I can use the keyboard (with the Bat I'm forced to do that).
But I noticed with other programs that I find it much easier and faster
to drag and drop text blocks with my intellimouse (digital or
analog???).
But If Ritlabs decide to implement this feature as an option, would
that be a problem for you?

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who
would you call and what would you say? And why are your waiting?
