Description

I would like to achieve delay on the drag start action, since using the drag-drop inside a scrollable container I want to be able to scroll as normal behavior, only start dragging the item if the user is kept holding onto it for a few seconds.

I'm using Reorder.Group Reorder.Item

Research direction

Start by reading the Reorder.Group and Reorder.Item documentation and the existing drag-start behavior. Determine how delayed dragging should interact with scrolling, then define the user-visible behavior and API needed for a hold-to-drag interaction. Done means scrolling remains normal until the hold duration elapses, after which reordering starts.
