Yes middle click, will get current selection. And afaik it can do this 
cross applications.

That still should not replace the ctrl-c/v clipboard.... Strange.

If you drag without ctrl, will the ctrl-c/v clipboard also be affected, 
or does it keep its content?

Also, just curiosity, but you said you drag the "{$Endif} to a diff 
location? Holding Ctrl means you drag it, but keep the orginal => so you 
end up with 2 $ENDIF ?

Btw, on top of the other suggestion doing the $Endif stuff. You can 
assign a single keycombo to type {$Endif}.
(Editor macros are in the view menu)

- record an editor macro  (IIRC  ctrl-shift r)
- type: {$Endif}
- stop recording (IIRC  ctrl-shift r)

In the editor macro dialog, move the macro to IDE (so its global), and 
assign a key-combo.

Then you just paste the {IFDEF....}
and insert the $Endif via your key combo.
