What does “drag and drop” mean?

Drag and drop is a feature that allows the user to select an object or a piece of text and can move it to the desired location and “drop” it. It is when you “grab” an object and drag it to a different location, moving (an image or highlighted text) to another part of the screen with the mouse or a similar device.

From Wikipedia, in computer graphical user interfaces, drag and drop is a pointing device gesture in which the user selects a virtual object by “grabbing” it and dragging it to a different location or onto another virtual object. In general, it can be used to invoke many kinds of actions or create various types of associations between two abstract objects.

An image is dragged onto a web browser icon, which opens the image in the web browser.

As a function, drag and drop is a productive technique that is quick and easy to learn, and the advantage is that two operands (the object to be dragged and dropped and the position to be dragged) can be thoughtfully combined into a single action.

The basic rules of drag-and-drop operations often look like this

1. Move the pointer over the object
2. Press and hold the button on the mouse or other pointing device to “grab” the object
3. “Drag” the object to the desired position by moving the pointer to that position
4. “Drop” the object by releasing the button

Common examples of drag-and-drop

• A common example is dragging an icon on the virtual desktop to a special trash can icon to delete a file.
• Dragging a data file to a program icon or window for viewing or processing. For example, dragging an icon representing a text file into a Microsoft Word window means “Open this file as a new file in Word”
• Move or copy a file to a new location/directory/folder
• Adding objects to the list of objects to work with
• Rearrange widgets in the GUI to customize their layout
• Drag an attribute to an object to which the command is to be applied. For example, drag a color onto a graphical object to change its color.
• Drag a tool to the canvas to apply it at that location.
• Create a hyperlink from a location or word to another location or file.
• Most word processing programs allow dragging selected text from one point to another.
• Drag a series of code blocks, such as designing shaders and materials in Blender.
