'Hold modifier key during drag to activate shelf' feature

📝 Description of the new feature/enhancement

Hello! First of all, I would like to say thank you for creating such a great program! 😊

I was a Mac user and have been using Dropover for a long time. Now that I've moved to a Window operating system, I've been looking for an app with similar functionality to Dropover on the Mac, and I came across your Dropshelf.

This app was exactly what I was looking for! I loved it so much, I paid for Pro immediately after downloading it. 👍

One feature I would really like to see you add is the Hold modifier key during drag to activate shelf feature that I used to use in Dropover on my Mac. This feature saves me from having to wiggle the mouse by pressing a button on the keyboard, which is a huge inconvenience.

Once again, thank you for a great app, and I would really appreciate it if you could add this feature.

Hope you have a great day :)

Thanks for using and supporting Dropshelf!

Dropshelf can't actually detect whether you are dragging files or not when you hold down the mouse, so adding a "hold modifier key during drag" shelf activation shortcut would likely cause the shelf to accidentally open in a lot of scenarios. I'd have to see if there's a way I can implement this feature without it disrupting the user.

Right now as an alternative, you can use the shelf activation keyboard shortcut while dragging files (and without letting go of the left mouse button). You can also set a custom keyboard shortcut to make it easier (e.g. Win + `)
