Moving an Inline Item

Freeway

Is there meant to be a way to ‘move’ an inline item (other than the accidental and unknown way I often do)?

I would just cut and paste but that breaks the item’s Master instance, which I don’t want to lose.

Thanks.

I think moving an inline item will also break the Master/Child relationship.

HTML Items or boxes can be dragged around inline, which is what FWP
mistakenly does when we touch or double-click our way into a box. You can
literally drag that item within the inline/text run in which it exists,
either left or right. Often that is not practical and cutting/pasting
serves better… though it is good to understand even the behaviors we aren’t
utilizing.

Many thanks (once again) Ern.

Not sure if the Master/Child relationship does get broken. I managed, with difficulty, to move a Child item (holding and moving the orange ‘handle’ of flexible height item) and it retained its status.

Still, as with many Freeway tasks, I found another around doing what I wanted, but it underscore what you said elsewhere, that Freeway was not initially built for inline design.

Nevertheless, I think that Inline is far more solid and predictable than RPL—and perhaps the best way to reliably get Freeway to fit a tablet browser.
