dragon is a lightweight drag-and-drop source and sink utility for X11 and Wayland. It opens a small window holding files or text that can be dragged into other applications, or accepts dropped items and prints them to stdout.
Use cases
- drag a file into a web app without a file manager
- accept dropped files from other programs via the command line
- pipe dropped file paths into a shell script
- stage files temporarily with --keep and drag them elsewhere later
- drag a single file once and exit automatically
When to choose
- you use a tiling WM or terminal-centric workflow without a file manager
- you need to script drag-and-drop interactions on Linux
- you want a tiny GTK3 utility with no daemon
When to avoid
- you need drag-and-drop on Windows or macOS
- you need a full graphical file manager
- you need clipboard-style copy/paste rather than drag-and-drop
