affinity uses a totally different way, focussing on non-destructiveness. While it is possible to use selection and drag that area within a pixel layer (after activating move tool), the Affinity way would be

  • make selection
  • copy
  • if you want the selected area deleted, delete it (or create a mask, invert it)
  • paste (creates a new layer)
  • choose move tool
  • Move layer to target position.
  • if you want the layers combined, use merge down. This requires the source layer to be of type pixel. If it’s of type I age, rasterize it.

this might look like many more steps, but has its advantages of not deleting anything and allowing to re-adjust anytime later.

It is a major design principle where Affinity differs from other Apps who don’t offer this level of non-destructiveness.
