If it's just one line as part of a larger change, you can yank it
and either paste it normally or visually-highlight the line with
"V" and paste to replace it (or paste it and then delete then line).

If it's a whole block, you can use "dp" or "do"

:help do
:help dp
:help :diffput
:help :diffget

to obtain the diff from the other window, or put the current diff
in the other window.

This assumes that, in your example, that diff mode has aligned
line 1 of file1 with line 8 of file2. If not, diff-mode won't help
you much in this case, so you'd have to revert to the yank/paste
method.

If that's what you're doing and you're still having trouble, you'd
have to expand on what you mean by "having trouble moving text."
