Move text from one application to another
Not only can you drag-and-drop within one application, you can drag text from one application window and drop it in another. Let's say you wrote a nice essay in TextEdit—select it and drag it into an email message in Mail.
This automatically makes a copy of the text (instead of deleting it from the first application), so you don't need to hold down the Option key.
