Has there been an update or change of keys in Webflow to move a heading and image into the same grid box using the Ctrl + drag on Windows method mentioned in the Cards video of the Webflow 101 course?

Webflow has no longer retained the Ctrl + drag shortcut to place multiple elements (like a heading and an image) into the same grid cell as referenced in older Webflow 101 content.

1. Original Method Is Deprecated

• The Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) + drag shortcut was mentioned in early Webflow University videos to allow you to nest elements into the same grid cell by holding the shortcut while dragging.
• As of recent Webflow updates, this behavior is no longer supported or consistent in the Webflow Designer.

2. Supported Method to Combine Elements in One Grid Cell

• Use a Wrapper Div: Instead of dragging two separate elements into the same grid cell, create a div block, place your elements inside it, and position the div into the desired grid cell.
• This approach maintains layout control and avoids conflicts with newer Designer behaviors.

3. Alternate Methods

• Manual Placement Using Grid Area Names or Numbers: If you're using named areas or manual row/column span adjustments in the Grid settings, you can assign multiple elements to the same area using the area or start/end line numbers.
• Flexbox Inside the Grid Cell: Once the div is placed in a grid cell, use Flexbox to control inner layout between the image and heading.

4. Testing the Shortcut

• If you try Ctrl + drag on Windows now, Webflow may ignore it or treat it as a move between grid cells, rather than combining them.

Summary

Webflow has removed support for Ctrl + drag to combine elements into the same grid cell. Use a wrapper div placed in the grid cell instead, then style the contents as needed.
