Description

Could we add a moving column threshold option so that column moving does not start until the threshold is met?

Short description of our case: Because the column menu button is quite small for using with a tablet or mobile device, we decided that we want to add a custom header template that makes the whole header act as a button for the menu. This causes problems while trying to access the menu because not every mouse click is perfectly still, sometimes the user triggers a move action on that. Therefore we thought that adding a threshold option for when moving a column should start could fix this.

Are there any alternative solutions for this?

Research direction
Investigate the column moving implementation in ui grid, likely in the 'moveColumn' plugin. Look for existing drag start sensitivity settings. Consider whether a threshold can be added as a grid option or per column. Review the issue comments for any maintainer feedback or alternative approaches. Since the issue has an assignee, check if any progress has been made or if the feature is still desired.
