Also known as "box" selection versus the normal "stream" mode. To do this with a mouse, just hold down ALT and drag as normal.

nope. pressing ALT and selecting with the mouse lets me do block selection, but that's not what I'm talking about here.
When you do what I wrote, it moves the selected rows up and down, replacing them with the rows before them or after them(depending on the arrow direction) without hurting your precious document. So you can easily move that set of bullet points up to the first headline instead of the second one with nor copy-pasting work..

...and Alt-Shift-LeftArrow and Alt-Shift-RighttArrow cycle the selected text through available heading settings.
