interesting idea, but I don't think it'll work. too much guesswork, too easy<br>
to get wrong. for example, when I know I need to cover a large distance<br>
while dragging, a quick 3-4cm repeated drag is faster than a couple of large<br>
moves.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I was thinking the threshold would be much smaller than 3-4 cm, more like 1 cm.
