When I'm using my browser, I select and drag text from the page to the tabs section of the browser window to open a new tab which queries my search engine using the text (unless the text was a URL, in which case the new tab goes to the URL). I could copy, open a new tab, paste, and press enter in some cases, but that opens a tab to the right of all other tabs, when sometimes I want my new search tab to be in a different position. However, I would appreciate a setting that would let me arbitrarily switch between dragging vs reselecting already selected text.
