drag

To press a mouse button and then move the mouse cursor while holding down the mouse button. In reference to a visual object, this means to point to the object, press and hold the mouse button, and move the mouse cursor; in some cases, the object follows the mouse cursor across the screen until the mouse button is released. Dragging is used, for example, to resize a window by dragging its frame, or to move a window by dragging its title bar.
