Re:Show HN: Picknplace.js, an Alternative to Drag and Drop by grimgrin on Friday December 19, 2025 @07:14AM (#46324977)
only slightly similar, on desktop when making a visual selection, dragging cursor from x,y to another x,y then releasing? i'll run into problems with early releases sometimes, could be hardware, network, whatever

if the tool i'm using has this option, i will use it and love it:

    -D, --nodrag
      Allows you to click twice to indicate a selection,
      rather than click-dragging.
that's from maim, idk what else does it, but i prefer "nodrag" to "drag-and-drop" or "drag-and-release"

picknplace reminded me of it
