I’ve been looking for two things missing in the desktop metaphor:
- a ”drag rest” window where you can drag and drop files and folders to and have them act as if the drag and drop event was continuous while they rest there and you do something else (usually prepare the landing area)
- a visual clipboard with drag and drop
The second thing definitely exists, but probably not in Plasma?

In general I’m sad that dragging and dropping isn’t more useful on Linux. It’s a crapshoot if applications accept things dropped into them and most applications don’t have a representation for things to drag out of them. Normally I’d assume you could drag open documents, pages from a PDF, and so on.
