+<p>
+  To move or copy a region, make sure you are in object mode. If you are 
+  using smart mode, the pointer must be in the lower half of the region 
+  to begin a move or copy operation.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Move the pointer into the region, use a <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd>-drag. 
+  The region will follow the pointer as you move it around. By default, 
+  the region can move freely along the timeline. 
+</p>
+<p>
+  To move a region from one track to another, simply start a move as 
+  described above, but move the pointer into the desired track. The 
+  region will follow the pointer. Note that if you have other kinds of 
+  tracks visible, the region will remain where it is as the pointer 
+  moves across them, and will then jump to the new track. This serves as 
+  a visual reminder that you cannot drag an audio region into an automation 
+  track or a bus, for example.

+
+<h2>Move Multiple Regions</h2>
+<p>
+  To move multiple regions, select them before moving. Then 
+  <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd>-drag one of the selected regions. All the 
+  regions will move, keeping their positions relative to each other.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Fixed-Time Motion</h2>
+<p>
+  Sometimes, you want to move a region to another track, but keeping its 
+  position along the timeline exactly the same. To do this, use 
+  <kbd class="mouse">Middle</kbd>-drag instead.
+</p>
