It lets you do drag-and-drop from the command-line, so if you want to, for example, upload a file onto a forum post you're typing up, you can find/create the file on the command line, run `dragon ${filename}`, and then drag and drop the file onto your browser window.

Not sure how well it works in Wayland, though. It's a pretty old program.

Valve should bring back the #SteamController. it should fix the first version's biggest flaw (lack of d-pad) and learn from more recent developments. here is a prototype of what it could look like 😏.
