How to use the keyboard to drag and drop? My trackpad is broken so I can tap-to-click but i cannot drag and drop. This is really a problem when it comes to doing certain things. 

Does anyone know how to program a sticky key to turn a click into a click-select that can then be dragged about? 

I can't resize my browser or open window and I can't drag applications into the folder when installing etc.

free solutions only please.

Daniel Lawson provides a really useful and widely applicable solution in a comment above. It deserves its own "answer".


  Can you three-finger-drag for drag and drop? What hardware do you
  have? What version of the operating system? –  Daniel Lawson♦ Oct 3

I just used three-finger drag to select that text and then used the Cmd-C and Cmd-V for copying and pasting. That's all you're likely to need except in situations where an app requires you to move a switch or drag a visual object.
