  • Àwọ́-ṣí-nípò

Decomposition: While wọ́ is to drag, Àwọ́ is the act of dragging and to change the position of something is to ṣí nípò.

  • Àgbésọọ́lẹ̀

Decomposition: One maxim comes to mind, "àgbéjùẹ́lẹ̀ lọmọdé ń gbégi aládi" so I would say drag and drop is àgbésọọ́lẹ̀ or àgbéjùẹ́lẹ̀ because drag-and-drop has to do with selecting/moving a digital object and placing/dropping the object elsewhere. I didn't use àwọ́jùsílẹ̀ because 'wọ́' (drag without care on the ground) as we have in Yorùbá doesn't fit here, 'gbé' works perfectly.
