ripdrag is an application that lets you drag and drop files from and to the terminal.
It's designed to be feature to feature* compatible with dragon, while being written in modern Rust and GTK4.
Example.mp4
*some features like --on-top can't be ported over because of limitations in gtk4
Many applications expect files to be dragged into them. Normally you would have to put your beloved terminal aside and open a file manager to that, but now you can just type ripdrag FILENAME and be done.
Used in combination with a fuzzy finder like fzf - e.g. ripdrag $(fzf) - can make for an amazingly quick and painless terminal experience.
