It would shoot out about halfway like kind of a tongue sticking out of your mouth that makes this little noise

approximately one tenth of the internet I counted wrote in to tell us about a drag and drop replacement if you recall

I spoke about drag and drop last week and it was a thing where if you wiggle your mouse you get kind of a shelf for lack of a better term

where you can store things temporarily and then drag them off of that shelf into somewhere else

So it allows for you to you know manipulate your computer rather than having to commit to a drag start to finish on one shot

and a bunch of people wrote in very helpfully and

Suggested yank which I have

installed there is a demo outside of the app store I

installed it ran the demo for about a day

Realized this is pretty much as close to drag and drop as I can possibly get without actually being drag and drop and so

I then purchased it for seven dollars from the Mac app store and it is quite good

The oink basically allows you to have a shelf not on like drag and drop in some ways

It's actually better than drag and drop because it allows you to put multiple things on the shelf

Whereas my recollection of drag and drop was that basically it was one item and that's it or you know like one collection of items

basically one

Drag operation into the shelf was all you got whereas with yank you can put several different things in the shelf all at once

You can drag them out as one unit or drag them out as individual units etc etc

It's very very good. I like it a lot

Pro tip in the preferences which I don't have in front of me and I'm not going to try to dig up
