I sometimes accidentally do this and then get angry that the feature exists

I use it occasionally when reorganizing code. It’s easier to just drag and drop blocks of code than to ctrl-x ctrl-v. I don’t do it for anything in the middle of a line though, because it seems too easy to make a mistake.

No but why did you take the spaces with it? Leave the spaces so when it moves you don’t have to add it back

Interesting. I’ll try it out!

adults in computer classes/training use this all. the. time. I see it everyday

I have used it once

I very often mark the word or text and drag and drop it to the top of the browser, so it starts instantl a search about this.

Way faster than using many extra steps

I use it at work sometimes because our help desk randomly started crashing when I pasted into it from OneNote, but dragging the text from OD into the text box works for some reason.

No. But who talks about this kind of thing?

I do actually occasionally use it, sometimes it’s easier than Ctrl-X Ctrl-V

Frequently when I’m making lists and I am reorganizing the order.

Or I’m wiritng a recipe and get the directions in the wrong order.

Sometimes I’m writing an article and I move sentences around to improve the flow of the article.

Geez, no. No, no, a thousand times no.

I have ulnar nerve damage so when i hit ctrl+c/x/v i often don’t quite depress C/X or V fully without thinking about it. So i use drag text quite often.

I’ve only very rarely had drag text misfire unintentionally.

Nope, when writing on a PC I avoid touching NY mouse anyway.

Is this using a PC? Maybe I would.

If this is from a smartphone… I wouldn’t I guess… I often prefer to retype than dealing with the select text feature… It seems I get the same experience in the most recent mobile OS that I had when I used my iPod Touch 4G a lot of years ago, why does it feel that this feature hasn’t even evolved? I can’t be the only one that feels it is terrible to use, I prefer to use the keyboard gestures than dealing with it.
