Windows has 3 good things and this is one. And has this from 3.11!
Find a windows pc, wear latex gloves, and try this.
Select an item and do a little drag. Now the dragging is started and
will last until you release the left button.
In the mean time you can do alt+tab, ctrl+tab, check email and so on.
When you are ready leave the left button and the drop event is fired.
When you became proficient in this art you can do things very quickly
and when you became a master you can drop stuff even before the other
window is drawn. But this require almost 25 years of zen training,

Down on my knees, I'm begging you,
Down on my knees, I'm begging you,

Please, please do fix this
