If you have long lines in a text-File it would be very helpful, if you could take changes part by part from the right to the left (or the other way round).

Please take a look to the attached picture.

On the right you can see the string "bsdfsdsd Hallo Welt". It is marked red, because this string ist missing on the left. 

It would be cool, if I hover the right string, I could take it to the left, so only "bsdfsdsd Hallo Welt" is inserted on the left between "Repository" and "angelegt.

I like this idea. If done properly, I think it could be useful without being too confusing. However, I'd guess that it would also be a lot of work, and it's not something I'm likely to get around to any time soon.

Thanks for the suggestion.
