How to move contents of selected area in GIMP?

0

I am trying to do something very basic in GIMP. I want to select an area and move that area’s contents. I have tried CtrlX, CtrlV (the selection box disappears), I have tried all kind of combinations of the Shift, Ctrl, Alt and Space keys with the Move function. I can only move either the entire image or the selection box only (not the selected portion of the image)

What are you actually asking? What move function? What application? How does this relate to a laptop? – Sami Kuhmonen – 2015-08-30T16:03:52.220

Make sure you have the desired layer selected... – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2015-08-30T16:24:54.807
