Hello,
My application writing needs are to enable drag & drop between 2 opened editors.
While there is the possibility to open both editors side by side, it's not a well known feature, and sometimes not desirable.
What I would like is enable the user to work on several open editors, and, from time to time, initiate a drag operation from editor A, hovering the mouse over the tab showing the label of editor B,
which will then be opened to allow the drop operation to be done on editor B.
I don't know :
- if it is feasible at all ?
- if yes, where to plug things/start with ?
Thanks in advance if you can answer to my questions,
--

Hello,
Does nobody have an idea to help me solve this problem ?
I've currently tried solutions such as adding listeners to the main shell directly, but have not succeeded yet.
Thanks in advance,

Alas, I currently haven't reached the step where I could offer patches to the community, but any soon I feel I can, I certainly will if that can help.
You're right, I'll trigger an event on the bug itself, thanks for the idea,
