Hi all!
First time here: I found Scratch while searching for something that can help my children on learning how to program, and I ended up having fun with this :-)
I have search a lot on the forum on how to select and drag blocks, but seems that there is no info on that, or it is only one way to do it.
So the question is: how can I just delete a single block ?
What I do now is to click and drag it, which moves all the blocks snapped below of it, and then moving back all of them but the first one by clicking and dragging the one just below. With this, if done inside a couple of control blocks, I totally lost the structure of what I have first.
Maybe there is a simpler way to do it ?
Also, on what depends how many blocks does the "duplicate" (right click) select ?, can't I previously select the blocks range to duplicate ?.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't found an easier way to get rid of blocks yet. The way you described is how I do it.
And your question on duplicating, it duplicates the blocks that are underneath the block you selected (and that one) and ends when the stack of blocks ends or when there's the end of one of the C-shaped blocks (forever, repeat until, etc.)
Selecting blocks is a good suggestion, though.

There is no way to selectively delete something sandwiched between other blocks. You will have to manually move it out of the script and then fix it back together. If you want to delete a whole section, you can right-click (Control click on macs) on a section instead of dragging.
If you accidentally delete something you didn't want to, there's always the Undo Button at the top,
