This part happens automatically when I select the whole row (or column)

Can't do that on my desktop environment (Cinnamon on Linux) - Using Alt+Drag
moves the window...

But even if this wasn't the case, I believe that's not enough. It is very easy
for users not to realize that's available.

I should also mention that pressing any of the Alt, Ctrl and Shift keys does
not change the appearance of the row or column selection rectangle, or of the
selection area, or of the row or column header, nor of the cursor - which
further 'masks' the hold-key-and-drag functionality from being figured out by
the user.
