Drag and drop bullet points, items in lists, headings

how does it work?
I use it in Mac and I don’t have it I think

It’s a bit finicky. Sometimes when I attempt to drag, it moves the selection to the part of text under cursor instead. The trick is that you need to hold down left click (or three fingers if using trackpad) for a second before you attempt to drag. Holding down Alt copies selection instead of moving it.

Also, see this answer:

Select text, drag to a new line and "copy" that text there with brackets automatically around it?

Try triple clicking (to select paragraph/block), wait a second, press and hold the left mouse button, wait a second, slowly move the pointer to where you want the paragraph. The timing is a little tricky, but you can tell if your doing it “right” if you see the paragraph moving with the pointer. You’ll see the cursor (insertion point) move on the left at the beginning of any blank line. Holding down optn shows a plus symbol but doesn’t seem to do anything differently (that I can tell).

+1 for a togglable drag and drop handle on bulleted / boxed lists on desktop and mobile!

Dragging and dropping selected text does not work well imo.

This is only a partial solution, but there are Move line up and Move line down commands that can be assigned to shortcut keys on the desktop version, and are available to add to the formatting menu on mobile.

Some down sides:

• Since paragraphs have a blank line between them, moving a line up once just moves it above that blank line and butts it up against the preceding paragraph. Moving it up again moves it above that paragraph, but still butted against it. Moving it up again will just butt it up against the paragraph above that. And some people might create paragraphs in standard Markdown with insignificant line breaks, which would mean they’d only be moving one of the lines within the paragraph.
• When you move bullet points, that won’t move any nested bullet points along with the parent.
• It’s not as easy to use as drag handles would be.

So really, we need Move paragraph up/down commands, and Move bullet point up/down, or a more generic Move block up/down. And drag handles.

It’s been more than five years since this was posted, yet I’m still forced to use other apps for features that are standard in most alternatives. This missing functionality has been a daily inconvenience since I first installed the app on both desktop and specially on mobile.
