A relatively unknown mouse function is the so-called ” click snap “. This function of the mouse practically engages the left mouse button as if you keep the left mouse button pressed.
So you can fix objects, files, windows or anything else with a long click on the left mouse button and move them freely. Or you can use it to mark texts without holding down the left mouse button during this time .
You can configure this click-snapping of the mouse yourself by specifying the time after which the click-snapping function becomes active. Then you have to hold down the left mouse button for a certain time, and the snap- in function is already active. The clicked mouse button is only released again by pressing the left mouse button again. This function can be very useful in certain circumstances.
