How to implement long-press and drag on mobile devices #3177
Description
On mobile devices, touch swipe gestures and drag gestures conflict with each other. Therefore, I want to implement the function of triggering the drag event after a long press, similar to long-pressing an icon to drag it on the mobile phone desktop. The problem I'm encountering now is that after pressing, I activate dragging through grid.enableMove(true, currentElement);, but I have to release the touch and then press again to drag, which makes the operation discontinuous. I wonder if there's a way to achieve a more instinctive interaction like this.

yeah probably the way to do this is to have the grid readOnly:true on mobile (so you can swipe to scroll and interact with content) and use long press to turn into edit mode (drag and resize). but then need gesture to leave edit mode (single click and release ?)
that could be added for the right donation.
