but I'm not sure if that would break workflows for people (I'm gathering it would for people who right-click+drag to use context menus) and that should be avoided where possible.
FYI, while that is an excellent feature of Windows (and I use it ALL the time there) I have never found a flavor of Linux where it was implemented. The best you can get sometimes is a middle-click-drag, but that only works in rare instances from what I've seen.
Off-topic:
It is such a useful feature, I really wish I could use it on my work PC where I am forced to use Linux.

Right-click drag works for me here in XFCE.
