Q2 - Selection moving without layer data moving

Hi !

Another Photoshop question:

Q2: How to I move a selection (example BOX) without moving the layer's image data ?

In Photoshop, when I select a box area, I can move the area with arrows, or mouse. But Image data is stay unchangeable under the area. How to I do it same thing in GIMP ?
(So: I need to repositioning the selection only, without recreate it)

Thanx for help: ft

in gimp2, you double click on the move tool icon in the toolbox and then in the tool options select the button in the center with the reddish box on it.

While still with selection tool selected, press Alt key and drag the selection with mouse. Or press Alt and Arrows for 1 pixel movement, or Shift+Arrows for 25 pix jumps. In Move tool the similar combinations work.
