dragging

A surface anchored to the bottom edge that slides up over the content, often draggable between a peeked and an expanded height.

The invisible strip on a column border that widens or narrows the column when dragged, and often fits the column to its content on double click.

The small gripped area, often drawn as rows of dots or lines, that marks where an item may be picked up and dragged.

A control that takes files, by opening the system picker from a button or by accepting a drop into a marked area.

The short rounded bar drawn at the top of a bottom sheet to say the surface can be dragged.

Two images stacked with a draggable divider that wipes between them, used to show a before and an after in one frame.

An editable image view that shows its current picture and accepts a replacement dragged or pasted straight into it.

A round control turned by dragging in an arc, borrowed from hardware and mostly found in audio and creative tools.

The marker showing the current position in a timeline or track, which travels during playback and can be dragged to move it.

A slider with two handles on one track that sets a lower and an upper bound, so the selection is an interval rather than a point.

The small corner grip that lets you drag an element or window bigger and smaller, drawn as diagonal ridges on a textarea or window corner.

The seek control of a media player: a track showing elapsed and buffered time with a playhead you drag to move through it.

A control that sets a value by dragging a handle along a track, showing the whole range at once.

The draggable bar between two panes that changes how much room each one gets, keyboard operable as a slider between limits.

The groove a slider thumb or scrollbar travels along, usually drawn as filled before the handle and empty after it.

A row of vertical columns, each one a stage, holding cards that move sideways as work progresses.

Acting on an object by handling the object itself, dragging, resizing, or typing into it, rather than describing the change in a separate control.

The semi-transparent copy of the dragged item that follows the pointer, sometimes collapsed into a stack when several items move at once.

Changing the order of a list by dragging an item to a new position, with the remaining items shifting to show where it will land.

The line or highlighted gap drawn during a drag to show exactly where the item will land if it is released now.

Dragging a list downward past its top edge to trigger a reload, with an indicator that appears in the space the drag opens up.

A stack of cards judged one at a time, each thrown left or right to record a binary decision and reveal the next card underneath.

Flinging an item off the edge of the screen to remove it, with the item tracking the finger and snapping back if the throw is too short.

Dragging a selection across one chart to highlight the same records in every linked view.

A range of input near the resting position that is deliberately ignored, so tiny unintended movement produces no response at all.

A position a control settles into and resists leaving, so a continuous drag or turn lands on discrete values that can be felt rather than read.

Picking up an object, moving it under continuous pointer or finger contact, and releasing it over a target that accepts it.

Scrolling a container automatically when a drag is held near its edge, so an item can be moved somewhere currently off screen.

The small distance a pointer must travel while pressed before the gesture counts as a drag, so a shaky click is not mistaken for one.

Making a new object by dragging out its extent rather than pressing Add: an event drawn across two hours, a frame drawn on a canvas, a range drawn on a chart.

The region that will accept a dragged item, usually highlighted while a compatible drag is in flight so the destination is unmistakable.

The fastest of the drag family: contact is released while it is still moving, so the content keeps travelling and the gesture cannot be dragged back.

Selecting by dragging a boundary around items on a canvas, freehand or as a rectangle, so whatever the outline encloses becomes the selection when the drag ends.

Redirecting all events for one pointer to a chosen element, so a drag keeps reaching the control it started on even when it wanders off.

Operating a menu in one gesture: pressing the trigger opens it, dragging moves through the items while the button stays down, and releasing over an item commits it.

Dragging a playhead along a timeline to move through media by hand, previewing frames as the position changes rather than waiting for playback.

A numeric field whose label can be dragged sideways to change the value, giving a slider's feel without a slider taking up room.

The draggable grip at each end of a touch text selection, used to widen or narrow the range a finger cannot adjust precisely.

A control that commits only once its thumb is dragged the length of its track, so the effort of the gesture is the guard against doing it by accident.

Pulling a dragged object into exact alignment once it comes within a small distance of a grid, guide, or another object's edge.

Hovering a dragged item over a container until it opens, so a drag can travel through nested destinations without being dropped and restarted.

A transition whose progress is held by an ongoing gesture, so the reader can drag it partway, hesitate, and either complete it or send it back.

A second, non-dragging route to anything a drag can do, such as arrow keys or a move-to menu on a sortable list.
