Drag and Drop. Everything. Really.


Have you heard of Drag and Drop? It is easy and more important, adds to your productivity.Drag and drop is a term used to describe moving an object on the computer screen with your mouse. It is done by clicking and holding an object, such as a file, then moving the mouse (dragging), and releasing the mouse button once the mouse cursor has reached its destination.

There are many other uses for drag and drop, and almost every Mac OS X application supports it. Go ahead — drag anything, and drop it anywhere. Want to launch a picture file in iPhoto rather than Preview? Just drag the image file onto the application icon for iPhoto. Maybe you just read a great idea on some webpage that you want to revisit later — select that text, drag it to the desktop (or any folder) and have a text clipping to read later. If using Spaces, try dragging iTunes (for example) to a different desktop.
