Moving blocks outside editor

I think it would be helpful if, when moving blocks of code outside the editor window, the editor window could scroll so that the blocks can be moved to positions that are currently not visible in the editor.

I guess this behaviour could be enforced only when moving up/down/left, as when moving right one could just want to copy some blocks to another sprite (by dragging those blocks onto that sprite)

This is a good idea!

I have a crude work around...you delete the block, move to where you want to insert it, then do an Undo.

Well, this is nice. I didn't know that could be done. Thanks!

Thanks again Paddle2See. I'm using it a lot now!

Re: Moving blocks outside editor

I'd like a little storage area where you could put scripts for later use.

Yeah, this is useful! But whenever I see loose blocks I compulsively delete them...hmmm, multiple undos?

Yes, definitely! I already asked for it in an old post.
