You mean by drag and drop?  Or maybe being able to edit the toc buffer
(moving and renaming sections, etc) much like wdired?  I think
especially the latter would be really cool.

But it's not easy to implement, and there are certain corner cases
especially with multi-file documents.  E.g., moving a section in a
one-file document basically means moving some region.  With a multi-file
document, it could also mean moving just some \include or \input
statement.  And with a document with sections A, B, and C where A and B
are in one file and C in another file, moving C in between A and B would
entail deleting some include in probably some main.tex and adding a new
in the file with A and B.  Or alternatively, it could kill all text in
C.tex and yank it in between A and B, and then delete C.tex.

Bye,
