Description Michael Catanzaro 2015-09-09 21:00:55 UTC

Desktop environments like GNOME require that a drag be associated with a particular action. For example, when nautilus is running under X, holding down Ctrl when dragging files forces the files to be copied, while holding Shift forces the files to be moved [1]. We're basically expecting to have a replacement for XDND actions (XdndActionCopy, XdndActionMove, XdndActionLink, XdndActionAsk, XdndActionPrivate) [2].

[3] adds this feature to the Wayland protocol, and [4] implements it for Weston.
