 This ticket relates to [37446] and #28826 when using the visual editor.
 Currently one does not get any visual cues as to the possibility to drag
 the MCE content around.

 '''Option 1 - drag n drop'''
 Similar to Dashboard, the Shortcake plugin or galleries could have "drag
 and drop", where the cursor changes from an arrow to dashicons-move
 https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/#move

 The content (MCE) then can be dragged around and shows a dashed outline
 box where the content (MCE) can be placed (just like on Dashboard and
 Appearance > Widgets).

 There is an outline of the content (MCE) where it originally positioned.

 ----


 '''Option 2 - Move to previous or next paragraph'''
 On mouseover, a menu shows up with arrows up and down. Clicking on up,
 moves the content (MCE) to the previous paragraph, clicking it down, moves
 the content (MCE) to the next paragraph
