Using Drag and Drop in UNIX Environments


Difference between Default and Nondefault Drag and Drop

The SAS windowing environment on UNIX offers two types of drag and drop: default and nondefault. Default drag and drop enables you to move text from one place to another. Nondefault drag and drop enables you to choose whether to move or copy the text, submit the text if you are dragging SAS code, or cancel the drag and drop operation. With default drag and drop, you can drag text between SAS windows in different SAS sessions and between SAS windows and other Motif applications, such as Netscape, that support drag and drop. Nondefault drag and drop is available only between windows in the same SAS session.

Limitations of Drag and Drop in UNIX

Under UNIX, you cannot drag and drop files or RTF (Rich Text Format) text.

How to Drag and Drop Text

To drag and drop text, first mark the text in one of the ways described in "Selecting (Marking) Text in UNIX Environments" on page 42. To use default drag and drop, simply use the middle mouse button (MB2) to drag the text where you want it. To use nondefault drag and drop, press and hold the Alt (or Extend Char) key before you release MB2.
