This looks so logical my mind struggles to understand why this is not how it already works in other programs o.O

the points on how undo interacts with this and the clipboard contents its also a good example of how relatively simple features can have a fairly high combined complexity to ensure the features do behave as expected if you use them in tandem.

nice writeup and cool solution :) thanks!

i see some comments about the move, and the cut & paste to be 3 actions etc. this is perhaps technically the case in current programs that you use, but conceptually and for most non-tech users this is not how the feature is presented. hence i think its a nice solution to fit the behavior to how its presented, rather than presenting more different ways to manipulate the document, using a move or other methods. (this would add complexity for non techy users. many editors which are mentioned are very complex with lots of keybindings)

It doesn't work this way because this breaks any use case that involves more than one program.
