Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Would you be able to support three fingers drag for trackpads? MacOS supports this accessibility feature and I can't live without this one. A trackpad feels super unnatural without it. Thanks!
### Scenario when this would be used?
This feature would work on all trackpads (mostly on laptops), to drag windows around or to select text fast without actually clicking with a finger and at at the same time dragging with another finger on the trackpad.
### Supporting information
Found this app which is MIT licensed:
https://github.com/ClementGre/ThreeFingerDragOnWindows
and thought it would be a great addition to the "Mouse utilities" section.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Review the linked ThreeFingerDragOnWindows project and the PowerToys Mouse utilities area to understand where this feature could belong. Confirm how three-finger trackpad gestures should support window dragging and text selection on Windows, then verify the behavior on supported trackpads.
