Quick Transfer

[ ]

Allow users to use quick transfer when they want to copy, link, or move a temporary (or secondary) selection.

[ ]

Design text controls to support quick transfer as both a source and target.

[ ]

Make the target of a quick transfer the control that has interacted emphasis.

[ ]

Make the source of a quick transfer the elements identified between pressing and releasing the TRANSFER (or SELECT) button.

[ ]

The default operation for a quick transfer should be copy, though it may be overridden using Ctrl and/or Shift modifiers when the user releases the TRANSFER button.

[ ]

Allow the user to press Alt TRANSFER and move the pointer (optionally augmented with Shift and/or Ctrl) for quick transfer only when TRANSFER is bound to MB2.

[ ]

Do not select the data transferred to a target as the result of a quick cut operation.

[ ]

If the user moves the pointer out of a control that allows scrolling while Alt TRANSFER is pressed, use autoscrolling to scroll the control in the direction of the pointer. If TRANSFER is released with the pointer outside of the control, or if Cancel (or Esc) is pressed while TRANSFER is pressed, then remove the emphasis, do not perform the transfer, and restore the view to the state it was in before scrolling started.

[ ]

Allow either of the following methods to copy the secondary selection to the insertion point:

Pressing Alt TRANSFER and moving the mouse

Pressing CtrlAlt TRANSFER and moving the mouse

[ ]

Move the contents of the secondary selection to the insertion point in the target control when the user presses Shift Alt TRANSFER, moves the mouse, then releases the TRANSFER button.

[ ]

Place a link to the secondary selection at the insertion point in the target control when the user presses CtrlAlt Shift TRANSFER, moves the mouse to select elements, and then releases the TRANSFER button.
