            Bug ID: 91949
           Summary: Add support for drag actions
           Product: Wayland
           Version: 1.5.0
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: wayland
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mcatanzaro at gnome.org

Desktop environments like GNOME require that a drag be associated with a
particular action. For example, when nautilus is running under X, holding down
Ctrl when dragging files forces the files to be copied, while holding Shift
forces the files to be moved [1]. We're basically expecting to have a
replacement for XDND actions (XdndActionCopy, XdndActionMove, XdndActionLink,
XdndActionAsk, XdndActionPrivate) [2].

[3] adds this feature to the Wayland protocol, and [4] implements it for
Weston.
