click and drag
Mouse selection technique
Click and drag is a fundamental computer interaction: pressing the mouse button, holding it down while moving the cursor, then releasing.
The gesture selects text, moves files, resizes windows, or draws shapes.
Click and drag the file to the trash.
The technique transfers naturally to touchscreens and trackpads.
