Good for you! I personally find it difficult to do it without a mouse.

And even with mouse it's error prone, you might accidentally move your mouse during clicking on something, and d&d something somewhere that you don't really want to (classic example is moving folder into another folder in the file open dialog).




DnD is natural human gesture to move things around. Implementation is imperfect but Undo should help then. Desktop has all this sorted out for years.


Unfortunately, there is no Undo on the file open dialog. So, no, the desktop hasn't it sorted all out.

But I don't really mind DnD as long as it's not obtrusive and there are other means to accomplish the task.


Did you try pressing Ctrl-Z? This has worked in Windows Explorer (and by extension the native File Open dialog) for years.
