+``--input-builtin-dragging=<yes|no>``
+    Enable the built-in window-dragging behavior (default: yes). Setting it to no
+    disables the built-in dragging behavior. Note that unlike the ``window-dragging``
+    option, this option only affects VOs which support the ``begin-vo-dragging``
+    command, and does not disable window dragging initialized with the command.

 ``--input-cmdlist``
     Prints all commands that can be bound to keys.
