This is how I learned about alt+drag and middle click in many common DEs.

Excellent! If you can incorporate them into your workflow, you may find your efficiency mildly enhanced, as I did.

In Windows, nothing. In Linux, if your DE supports it, you can hold down the Alt key and click anywhere to drag it, rather than using the title bar.

For middle click pasting: normally, to copy and paste text, you'd have to use Ctrl+c,Ctrl+v (or equivalent methods). Again, if your setup supports it, instead you can just highlight text, then middle click elsewhere to paste the highlighted text.

Oh I already knew about the alt one. I thought you were talking about IDEs lol. Was very sleep deprived when I read this the first time.

I like the middle click one. I knew you could use it to paste, but not copy.

When I made my comment, I was worried that "DE" would be interpreted as a typo ... But not enough to expand it.
