Description

I use Simplenote every day, and every single time I want to delete a note, I try to drag it from the middle column to the "trash" icon at the top left (under "all notes). I'm assuming this is because this is how Mac OS has trained me over the years to delete stuff, but I can't seem to learn the "click the ... menu way" and I suspect I'm not the only one.

Being able to drag a note to the trash in that Mac-ish kind of way would be super 😘.

Research direction

Start by tracing the note list in the middle column and the existing trash action at the top left, then compare it with the current ellipsis-menu deletion flow. Done means dragging a note onto the trash target deletes it consistently without breaking the existing deletion behavior.
