Move or Copy with Click-and-Drag

You can move or copy an item without an active command! Simply click on the object (so that the grips are displayed), then left-click-and-hold somewhere on the object (not on a grip). You can now move the object to a new location, or copy it by holding CTRL. Warning: This technique cannot use OSNAPS, so be careful when you use it.

You can (after the objects have been selected, grips displayed) right-click-and-hold somewhere on the object (not a grip). You can now Move Here, Copy Here, Paste as Block or Cancel. Same WARNING applies about no OSNAPS.
