I also hate drag and drop. It'd be good if when you picked something it automatically added the border too - otherwise I think this won't work on short pages?

I have some hesitations though - relying on scroll as the positioning method means that if you don't have a fine-grained scroll method e.g. on desktop, if you have a non-continuous wheel, you'll need to rely on "drag and dropping" the scroll bar, which doesn't really improve things (and has its own issues if your page is very long).
I think I'd prefer something other than scroll-to-position. Like what about making gaps between items with a "drop" button? Or adding up/down arrow buttons to the "picked" element so that fine grained adjustments could be done?
- baq 10mo agoTake inspiration from ghetto sim racing setups (which are also implemented by some middle click scroll versions) and use the mouse cursor y position relative to the picked object as scroll velocity instead of destination position. Change cursor to up/down. Needs some vertical space above the list though.
