Drag & Drop

Dynamic Widget Updating with Drag & Drop​

A key feature of the Terminal is its drag-and-drop functionality (sometimes referred to as drag-drop or D&D), which leverages the interface's inherent modular and multi-dimensional nature. D&D turbocharges the user experience with interactivity and intuitiveness, not to mention how much faster say drag-dropping a profile picture is than typing 42 characters.

How it Works​

For User Profile Images​

Many widgets are designed to dynamically update their content based on user profile. Instead of manually searching or inputting data, you can simply:

  1. Drag the user profile image from a widget.
  2. Drop it onto another widget.
  3. The target widget will automatically refresh and display information related to the drag-dropped profile.

For NFTs​

Certain widgets can have NFTs dropped into them, significantly boosting the time to perform an action:

  1. Drag the NFT from a widget.
  2. Drop it into the receiving widget.
  3. The NFT will appear in the receiving widget, to be traded or talked about or something else depending on the widget.

For News​

News items can be shared with others by drag-dropping the link icon (the one with the diagonal arrow in a box) into Direct Messages or Group Messages:

  1. Open up a news item to its detailed view by clicking on it.
  2. Drag the link icon in the bottom right corner.
  3. Drop it into a messaging widget.
  4. The news item appears in the messaging widget. Add a message if you'd like, and you're ready to send.

Widgets that Support Drag-and-Drop​

Most widgets support some form of D&D. Whether you're looking to view a user's NFT collection, send someone a fascinating piece of news, or add an NFT to a trade, go ahead, just drag, drop, and discover!
