Keybind to show category add buttons

What version(s) of WoW are you using?

Retail

What problem are you experiencing that led to you asking for this feature?

Showing the add buttons whenever you drag isn't ideal, as everything suddenly shifts and the window becomes much larger. But when I do need to put something in a category, it's a pain to open up the options, toggle the setting, do the categorization, reopen the options, toggle the setting back off.

What solution would you like?

Showing the add buttons on drag when alt (or some other modifier) is held down, similar to the layout setting for showing the various toolbar buttons.

Any alternatives you can think of?

Alternatively just let us categorize by dragging items onto the category label

Anything else?

Thanks!

"Showing the add buttons whenever you drag isn't ideal, as everything suddenly shifts and the window becomes much larger. "

I agree with this. It fits the philosophy that the layout shouldn't shift while it is open until you complete an action. Rather, maybe have a side panel on the left so you can drag items there (think of the corner icons)? Or maybe hold Alt > let the category name the item is over glow to indicate you are moving the item to that category, and only let the category name be a drop target.
