I sometimes accidentally do this and then get angry that the feature exists

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.

I have done it a few times although now I usually do Ctrl c and backspace

I use it occasionally when reorganizing code. It’s easier to just drag and drop blocks of code than to ctrl-x ctrl-v. I don’t do it for anything in the middle of a line though, because it seems too easy to make a mistake.

I use it at work sometimes because our help desk randomly started crashing when I pasted into it from OneNote, but dragging the text from OD into the text box works for some reason.

I use it a lot.

No. But who talks about this kind of thing?

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 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.

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

adults in computer classes/training use this all. the. time. I see it everyday

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 use it on desktop when I’m trying to rephrase something I’ve written to make my meaning more clear or improve the flow.

I have used it once
