Improved Cut + Paste in Project Explorer

Status: New

Currently (LV 2016) performing a "cut" on a file in the project explorer will warn the user that the file will be deleted from the project. Performing a "paste" can often result in an "unable to paste the contents..." message. This leaves drag and drop as the only method to reorganize code in the project explorer, but this is very cumbersome if there are a large amount of files and scrolling is necessary.

 

This idea is to propose windows-like cut + paste, where the "cut" item has ghosted text, but is not deleted. Once pasted, it is moved to the new location. This should have the same end effect as the current drag and drop feature.
