If you use X11 instead of wayland it is even trivial to setup
one of the extra buttons for "drag lock" so you don't have to engage
in contortions to hold down a button and roll the trackball
at the same time to do a drag.
Care to spill the beans? That has been one thing that dissuades me
from using trackballs, or even trackpads.
