Delete or move large numbers of lines in a notebook?

Posted 9 years ago

Is it possible to highlight and move large numbers of lines of functions in a workbook from one location to another?

In a regular spreadsheet, large blocks of cells can be moved or deleted. In Mathematica, I have such a block used to build a parametric model. Once the book becomes too large, I want to start another book or worksheet fresh with the same model. In a spread sheet, this is easy: highlight, copy, paste.

Does such a function exist within Mathematica? So far I can only do it one function at a time..

You can highlight more than one cell at a time if you click their brackets, using the usual keyboard shortcuts for multiple selection

Yes, you certainly should be able to highlight multiple notebook cells, copy or cut them, and then paste them into another notebook. Creating sections or groups of cells can make it easier. Perhaps a screenshot if it's not working for you?
