Drags are started with a configurable gesture, and can be continued even when lifting the fingers off the touchpad and starting the gesture again. If a different gesture or pointer click occurs, the drag will immediately end. The time delay for waiting for the continuation drag event is also configurable.

I used to use 3-finger dragging on Mac all the time to move windows around. I don't necessarily miss it in Cosmic, since I mostly use my keyboard. But it's a lot more ergonomic than tap-tap-drag. |

I don't expect this PR to be accepted as-is. I hope it can be used to guide #315 to eventually support 3-finger dragging through configuration. This is a feature I've used with other tooling, e.g. iberianpig/fusuma#173, and you can find others online looking for this same functionality.
The behavior works, but the configuration is not clear / well-defined. I'd also not like to contribute to scope-creep for the cosmic launch.
