KMSquote: KMS 'move' command drags item from frame to frame; eliminates clipboard

Quotation

The Move command is an example of how we have worked to streamline the KMS user interface by unifying related operations. For instance, pointing the cursor at an item causes the "Move, Copy, Delete" cursor to appear. Clicking the Move button attaches the item to the cursor. The user can then drag the item around--not only within the current frame, but also across the window boundary into the other frame. Before anchoring the item, the user can type text, move to other frames (dragging the item along), and even create new frames. This eliminates the need for a KMS "clipboard," with separate operations for "cutting" and "pasting."   Google-1   Google-2
