This is a good point.  There's a free tool called Cyclone which will 
do drag-and-drop conversion once you've configured it; I've put a 
note about it on my web page.

Good, glad it's proving useful.

That's an excellent idea.  OK, so the click modifiers we'll be having soon are:

option-click: look for docstring on the clicked function or class
command-click: copy the clicked chunk of text to the current cursor location

Sounds good to me!
