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.

No. But who talks about this kind of thing?

I use highlight/middle click paste a lot which I suppose is similar.

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.

Not the way you did in the example, but when I want to copy text from a website that has ctrl-c blocked, I drag and drop onto a text editor.

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 have used it once

Interesting. I’ll try it out!

Maaaaybe if I’m moving whole paragraphs around? But even then I’d probably cut and paste

Once in a blue moon? Not habitually though

Only within a web browser, generally to drag something from a page to the search bar

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

I’m not against the idea but I don’t personally use this. It could be useful in certain edge case, for instance in very tricky formatting situation in a rich text editor.

One thing that is annoying is doing it by accident, especially if you don’t realize it and continue editing so now you can’t undo either.

Also, this feature should live update as you drag stuff around, not only once you release the button.
