In reply to Derrick.

Absolutely spot on, Derrick. This has been my main gripe about the GB editor.

The each paragraph-as-a-block is the dumbest idea ever. Medium looks the same (since WP shamelessly copied its editor's look) but it doesn't treat each paragraph as a movable block. It only supports cut and paste

Your proposal is exactly how WP should have done it.

Moving multiple paragraphs in GB is super confusing. Yes you can select all the text and use cut and paste like "normal" but it's really weird selecting text across blocks - tho we may get used to it. But you can also drag drop the paragraph blocks individually.

So... if you want to move one para, drag it. If you want to move two or more, use a weird cut and paste.

Your proposal would make it so much easier, as all the paragraphs you want together would be in their own block, so dragging them around is quite intuitive and less prone to mistakes.

(Also curious why I have to submit comments twice on this site - the first submit disappears into the ether. I've learnt to copy before submitting)
