Thanks, that works, but what if I didn’t have a dynamic to paste from? Seems the only alternative would be to invoke the caret… I like the interim behavior much better.
You can move dynamics by the grid with Command-Option-arrows.

As mentioned, from the left side of a dynamic, this does not appear to work. Does it work from the left on your end?

Correct, but with some combination of extending or contracting and moving, it does solve the problem, even if it is limited to just the right side…
The design is: Alt (Option) moves the whole object; Shift-Alt changes its length, from the right end. The only way to change the length from the left end is by selecting the start point and dragging. So I guess this means that your desired mouse action is once again not possible.
A further thought for a feature request: Would it be possible to enable this with drag+Alt on a handle? (Note: not Alt-drag – in other words, click-&-hold, then add the Alt key, and drag.) I got this idea by analogy with the way holding the Alt key shows the grid in the system track and allows grid-specific selection.
