Drag items around using mouse button

Is there a way to use the left-click-and-hold to drag things around (like most Windows programs) rather than or in addition to having to use the M key?

Thanks.

I don’t have access to 4.0.7 anymore, but on the Win10 nightly dated today (2018-03-32, 5.0.0-rc2-dev-293-gfb882633b) that does work. A little differently in Eeschema vs. Pcbnew, I didn’t check anything else…

In Eeschema, click-drag starts a bounding box select. Release the mouse button and everything in the select box is moved around (press TAB to drag, i.e. rubberband connections) until you left-click to place.

In Pcbnew click once to select, then click-drag to move. If done on a footprint, it will only move the footprint. If done on a trace it will drag the trace segment rubberbanding the connecting trace segments.
