This something that has irritated the hell out of me since 10.0. I wish it would become second nature but it hasn't after almost 4 years of continuous use. It has got to the point where if I have to use a cocoa text editor I just don't drag. So I'm starting to get rsi in my fingers from the command-c / command-v dance. Try text dragging in BBedit if you want to know how it should be.

I think the interval for holding the mouse button is tool long. Does anybody know how to adjust the drag & drop start timing?

Something is wrong. There is no Cocoa imposed drag start delay.

There is a delay when you drag text. However, I don't think it's too long, and it prevents you from accidentally rearranging text.


There is a simple way to tell when the selected text is ready to be dragged. Click on the selected text and hold the button down when the I-beam cursor changes to an arrow you can drag your text. It becomes so second nature that most user don't even realize that's how it works.
