I have a minor feature request that was available with Ms. Visual Studio since 2002. Dragging and dropping the current line being executed. 
In VS you can drag breakpoints and your current line being debugged. This is a very intuitive system. Since CDT had now for some time "move to line" in the debugger, it would actually be not so complex to overload the dragdrop operation in the left hand bar next to the editor to drag and drop breakpoints or the current line being executed. 

/Matthew

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open visual studio
2. debug a program
3. add a breakpoint
4. get into breakpoint
5. drag the yellow arrow elsewhere

Neat feature.  As you say, with "move-to-line" we have all the plumbing we need, we just need to trigger the command from the drag and drop.

I second this request. I do that all the time in VS!
