Re:Show HN: New UI pattern for file manager type apps

(#23208151)
The Moodle learning management system [1] uses a very similar UI for moving items (links, documents, etc.) [2]. It supports drag and drop, which is more convenient for small moves, but this method is better for big moves or moving between sections (~folders). I think Moodle can only move one item at a time, though.
I think the pattern probably works better for this kind of thing than for files, as files aren't often manually ordered.
