Power tools for copying and moving: useful stuff for your desktop

Copy and move operations have long been supported by interactive desktops through various means. But the growing number of on-screen objects makes these means harder to use. In this note, we present new tools and techniques to enhance the existing ones: a selection, copy and drag history manager; two techniques to expose the user's desk and leaf through stacks of overlapping windows; and a technique that integrates the previous two with conventional drag-anddrop. ACM Classification Keywords H.5.2 [Information interfaces and presentation]: User interfaces - Graphical user interfaces. Author Keywords Copy-and-paste, Cut-and-paste, Drag-and-drop.
