[Enhancement] Hold and swipe/drag to reorder items

[simon-gilmurray]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some apps require holding and swiping/dragging to reorder items

Describe the solution you'd like
Some kind of ability to perform the above, e.g. - longPressAndSwipeTo

+1, I find this feature really useful. This behavior appears just after login flow, hence it is a blocker for the app that I test. Lack of this feature forces me to go with Appium instead of Maestro. Hopefully it will be released asap

Hey Simon, thanks for this great feature idea!

What would be the API you'd like to see? An idea:

appId: com.example.example
---
- launchApp
- longPressOnAndSwipeTo:
    longPressOn: # accepts all params for longPressOn
    swipe: # accepts all params for swipe
- assertVisible: ...

This new hypothetical command would essentially be a mix of longPressOn and swipe.

@bartekpacia Yes that sounds ideal!

Just throwing an idea out there - wouldn't it be interesting to make the API more generic by representing "drag and drop" with start, middle and end points? We have a use case where we need to draw a complete circle, and this could be a flexible way to accommodate that and potentially other complex gestures.

- gesture:
     start: {x: 200, y: 400}
     steps:
       - {x: 250, y: 350}
       - {x: 300, y: 400}
       - {x: 250, y: 450}
       - {x: 200, y: 400}

Then it could be nice to define the initial tab event to be of type press or longPress

Yeah, totally. I think we'd also need a way to specify timeout between gestures, and how long a move between each two points should take.

Of course, contributions are welcome!

This is badly needed
