Description Lars Vogel CLA 2011-11-16 19:45:04 EST 
I try to cut and paste a text file in the package explorer via CTRL+X and CTRL+V between projects. This doesn't work.

I would assume this should work.

My current workaround is to copy the file with CTRL+C and CTRL+V and then delete it from the original position which feels unnecessary complex.

Don't think 'cut' was ever implemented for Package explorer or Project Explorer, but I don't know why not. Dani ?
