maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how is this different to copy (or cut) and paste?

proposed keystrokes for action:

"grab" = Modifier/ Control / Command / Whatever plus g
"drop" = Modifier/ Control / Command/ Whatever plus d

items are selected, grabbed, then focus is moved to where
they need to be stroke on the author-designated target, or wherever
the user wants them to be dropped
