I should be able to drag and drop into apps using the switcher

Open aral opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Use case

I have something I want to open in one of my running apps.

  1. I start dragging in the source app
  2. I open the task switcher and drop onto the icon of the app I want as the target of my drag and drop

What should happen

A drop should register on the target app

What actually happens

Nothing.

(I’m actually unable to even carry out Step 2 due to #8).

Drag and drop is not something I had considered supporting. Is that something that other icon based application switchers support?

I’m pretty sure macOS supports the ability to switch apps and workspaces by hovering while DnD’ing afaik

Yep - you can drag and drop into the alt+tab switcher on MacOS. It's a brilliant trick. +1 vote for this.
