"Persistent" Blocks

Hello. I am new to Jedit so if this is already implemented somewhere, I'd appreciate a pointer...
I am moving from an editor which allows one to start and end a block of selected text and then to move the cursor to the location where the selected text should be moved/copied WITHOUT having the selection disappear. In this manner, you do not have to (a) select, (b) copy/cut, (c) move to target location, and (d) paste. Instead you (a) select, (b) move to target, and (c) copy/move.
If there is any way to implement this using a plugin, I am willing to give it a shot. I just have no idea where/how to begin.
Thanks,
David
