Key or Keyboard DRAG what does it correspond to on Windows?

[Carlo58]

In some beautiful Designer tutorials on Youtube, while translating the text into Italian, I recurrently read the word DRAG. Do you know what DRAG corresponds to in the Italian Windows keyboard?
Thank you.

Hi @Carlo58,

Would you be able to provide a link to one of the videos in question? Some context around this translation may help us to assist further

It would help to see the tutorial, but usually in my experience Drag is "left-click with mouse and then move the mouse".

Ciao@Carlo58,

Saresti in grado di fornire un collegamento a uno dei video in questione? Un po' di contesto intorno a questa traduzione può aiutarci ad aiutare ulteriormente

Here is an example:
In the line below the video, where the steps to be performed are listed, the word DRAG appears frequently.
I looked at the link reported by "Psenda" and I understood that DRAG only indicates the repositioning of the mouse. What do you think about it?
Thank you.

Usually it is not only repositioning the mouse – but means an additional mouse button or keyboard key(s) pressed.

In "drag & drop" it means "press the left mouse button + hold it pressed while repositioning the mouse". Same for the View Tool for instance, while with Move Tool the middle mouse button pressed does virtually / temporarily switch to the View Tool.

So, as the tool tips in the bottom line of your video say, DRAG can use various modifier keys (cmd, ctrl, opt, shift) while their effect is context related and thus varies with the situation.

@Carlo58, it may help to keep in mind that a mouse click is actually two distinct actions, the first to press the button down & the second to release it. So for example a drag & drop consists of three distinct actions, pressing the button down, dragging the mouse pointer somewhere, & then releasing the button.

Or: When you are asked in real life to DRAG something, usually neither the first action of grabbing nor the last of letting go is mentioned. The different ways of grasping something with hands or arms correspond to the mouse buttons & modifier keys on the computer.
