Select Tool - Cut Functionality

Would be nice to select a bunch of consecutive fields, and cut them and paste them to a different area.  Currently, the only options are to Move to Top or Move to Bottom.  If you want to move somewhere in between, you have to scroll through the whole list.

I'll defer to our products group to comment on the feasibility of this feature, but I do want to mention that there are options with selecting multiple fields and dragging them to the desired position within the Select Tool Configuration:

Thanks Tara.  Yes, I use the right-click-and-drag quite a bit.  Some of our files have a lot of fields so I have to let it scroll a couple screen lengths if I'm on my laptop.

If cutting and pasting is not possible, can we at least have a keyboard shortcut mapped to the Move Up and Move Down options?
