While we are on the topic:
you could also click on “Control” key (before clicking on the highlighted section) and then drop at destination for a “Copy and Paste” effect.
It has just come to my attention that Scrivener has a feature to highlight the sentence the cursor is in. In combination with “move” this is really useful.
Embarrassing, I have been working with Scrivener for many years and had no idea about this feature.
Now that I know, it helps me a lot.

Indeed! Select Sentence command together with drag & drop is a great boon.
BTW, since Select Sentence is actually additive (adds to any existing selection) I think it would be pretty straightforward to use KM to create an Add Next Sentence to Selection macro to catch cases where Select Sentence comes up a bit short b/c of a within-sentence ‘.’.

You know there is Ctrl-Shift + left/right, right?

I am still quite confused about this discovery and about my stupidity in not having known this all these years.
At the moment I do not yet overview all the new possibilities (KM), but they are many 
drag & drop is good… but what can be done with the keyboard?
Maybe with the same shortcut that highlights the sentence, cut it, navigate to another place with the keyboard and paste it again? Or use the clipboard manager to cut sentences and reassemble them in a different order. Or …
I’m using MS Word 2019. It doesn’t seem to work, maybe I did something wrong. If I feel I really need it, then I will look into it.
What is that feature?
I have been using it since 2017 and barely scratched the surface of it’s capabilities.
Someone once said about MS Word, that most people barely use 20% of its capabilities, but that 20% is different for everyone. It is the same for Scrivener.

Ah, but that just adds to the selection everything to right on the line (that is, generally just to the next soft word wrap), not everything to the end of the next calculated “sentence”.

Yeah. No, it doesn’t.
But in the case of an incomplete sentence selection (or to add a second sentence) that can be used as a quick completion of the desired selection range… (?)
Thought it was worth the mention.

FWIW, here is a single KM macro that does this: With cursor in text, invoke macro, you just get Scriv’s Sentence Select. But then hit the key for the macro again and it will add to the selection the next calculated sentence. Etc.
(Where opt-cmd-S is the key command for the Select Sentence function.)
@gr Since you are using KM you may find this macro useful. Especially when cutting out whole sentences to combine them in a different order, it does a good job. 
- Press Ctrl+V to start the macro.
- Press “C” after selecting the first text, press “C” after selecting the second text, press “C” after selecting the third text…
- After the previous step is completed, pressing “P” will automatically paste the first text, pressing “P” will automatically paste the second text, and pressing “P” will automatically paste the third text…
- Press Ctrl+V to end the macro.
