I have found that drag and drop is an awful UX pattern in recent years.
Via a physical mouse, it's fine. But trackpads are such a common set up these days and you cannot reliably drag and drop, especially since sometimes you need to lift a finger to drag further. The only solution I can think of would be to have a key that initiates a drag and you can hold the key while to continue the drag - but there's currently no standardisation in this pattern
- conradludgate 5y agoThe key difference between trackpads and mice that cause thus is that on a mouse a click and move are different physical actions, but on a trackpad the click and move are both uses of a single finger and cannot be invoked exclusively
