Move placed tiles on the level

[Deph0]

Hi, sorry if somebody requested this already-

Would be great if you could move a tile that is placed on the level already by selecting it, and maybe use a dedicated move tool to move the tile around on the level, this could probably also be used to move the tile around onto different layers.

to rephrase:
select tiles, select move tool, drag the select tiles around.

also; select+backspace doesn't seem to delete the tiles? bug or just not implemented?

you can do this by selecting tiles, cut, paste, click where you want them moved to.

sure, but then I need to spend time removing the leftovers, which is time-consuming if moving a bunch of things.

Leftovers? Not sure what you mean.

You need to press Delete, not Backspace. It seems especially OS X users are more used to pressing Backspace, so I'll consider adding this as an option. On the other hand, I had other plans for "Backspace", for example to go one step back while drawing a polygon/polyline.

fn+backspace would be equal to delete on a mac keyboard, which doesn’t do it either.

I have two keys on my Mac keyboard marked delete, one has an arrow pointing right and is where del would be on a pc keyboard, one is where the backspace key would be on a pc keyboard. Neither work, with or without combinations of fn, shift, cmd, alt, ctrl,etc....

Also, don't know if it's relevant but no keyboard shortcut for delete shows up in the menu:

I'm on OSX 10.10.3, tiled 0.12.0

I realized this is a duplicate of issue #650.
