copy&cut across paragraphs

[pkra]

I'm currently working on a document that needs a lot of moving-text-around. This is essentially impossible with qute right now since I cannot copy or cut multiple paragraphs.

From what I understand, this is hard for the default view because of your design decision (unless you find a fancy way to have copy/cut actually grab the source, not the rendered material).

But it could be helped in split-view if you abandoned the paragraph separation there, i.e., have a "normal" text window.

What do you think?

yes, copy and paste across paragraphs is a problem right now.

the plan was to add outlining facilities (in the spirit of org-mode) to
allow large chunks of text to be moved effectively. i am not sure, though,
how soon that is going to be implemented.

i will probably not expand the two column mode further. in fact, i would
like to abolish two column mode in favor of some form of localized
live-preview in single column mode.

a temporary solution might be to add a third "plain text" view, for use in
cut&paste situations.

I like the temporary fix. I would hate to loose the split view, but if you
don't have the time to make it work, who am I to argue.
