Did you know… You can Right-drag code to do a Move or a Copy? – #170

Today’s tip was submitted by a blog reader.  I had no clue that you could do this. 

Select a line of code, and then right-drag that line to anywhere within your editor (or into another editor window).  Then you’ll get this little menu popup with the options of "Move here, Copy here, Cancel."

I love little tricks like these, especially when i never knew it existed.  We should play a game called "Stump the Sara" and send me your most obscure IDE tricks.  Since i only worked on VS Core, it can only be generic IDE features not tied to any specific language.
