Compiler:          Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.20-gentoo

There is a cool feature in IBM's Eclipse project.  You can highlight a piece of text and then press ALT and <up arrow> or <down arrow> and the group of text will move up and down in the document.  This feature eliminates the need for cutting and pasting.  

It is a nice shortcut when moving paragraphs around as you can preview where you might want something.  I often find myself missing it inside Kile.

Just thought that might be a good suggestion.  Thanks for making Kile, it is already great!
