'Delete This' right click menu

If you accidentally drop something in the wrong place, then you have to disattach everything beneath it, pull it off, and then put it back on and then re-insert the block.
If you have huge amounts of code, then it can slow down and be painful to do this.
So just add 'Delete This' which removes the block you're clicking on, and then pulls everything below it up.

Re: 'Delete This' right click menu

I support. We need this.
Also, an undo button would do the trick too

What would happen if you deleted a
<forever>
Do this thing
<end>
? Would 'do this thing' be deleted.

Re: 'Delete This' right click menu

Well, yes. It would be like dragging the block, but everything beneath it wouldn't be attached to it basically.
Maybe instead of 'delete' you could just have 'unsnap'.

Re: 'Delete This' right click menu

Unsnap would wok too, and in fact would probably be even better. Either way, I support.

Re: 'Delete This' right click menu

I think we should have all of these options, plus an undo button, like Blade-Edge said.

I support this and a better undo button.

Re: 'Delete This' right click menu

I support undo, and only undo. Maybe add a copy paste function while you're at it, when I have to duplicate large scripts... sure, the scripts can mutiply, but its still slow.


Error:Signature could not load. Please wait for an indefinite amount of time, until you realize you're gullible and go off to look for another potentially interesting signature to stare at.

Why don't you support the splitting?
It would be useful for everyone, even if you can't use it for yourself.

Re: 'Delete This' right click menu

Yes, I support. Also, we need more than an "Undelete." We should have just straight undo. It's in the Paint Editor. Why not in Scratch in general? Also, we need Ctrl+Y to work in Paint Editor.


Thus I have spoken.

Re: 'Delete This' right click menu

Agree with all of them. And a replace block thing. When you drag a block above another block, you can replace that.


Hai.

Re: 'Delete This' right click menu

Good idea. I always run into that problem, and it's a drag x3


Everyone's argument is invalid. Your argument is invalid.

Re: 'Delete This' right click menu

I like BlueTaslem's unsnap idea  smile  This would make the process of dragging and dropping sooo much easier. While it is a unique interface, it certainly does need some efficient-izing.
