You hold down shift while dragging across. That said Alivingcreatur is right and just shift clicking on the bread in the recipe book would likely be optimal

@KilleDragon I was more saying that since it was a relatively high placing record as a first time run it may be due for a bit more scrutiny than a typical run, which would factor in to it taking a long time to get verified

Keep in mind you are submitting a run of one of the main categories of arguably the most popular game in the world right now when it comes to speedrunning, and this is your first submitted run landing you top 50 in a leaderboard with over 600 competitors

I just read Taternator's description of their 22 Happy Habiticians video and they talk about using the stopwatch to speed up time when going to bed to skip the fade-in effect and they say that this could also be done to skip the fade to white effect when ending the game, but that they didn't do this during the run because the fade to white is used to time when the run ends. My question is just: Since the run ends when the screen has fully turned to white, would ending a run this way be allowed? Having tested ending the game this way, it seemingly makes the fade to white much more abrupt, meaning it would be easier to see when the timer for the run should be stopped.

Yes you absolutely can but generally for me I wait until one run has been verified before I submit another one, mostly to make things easier for the mods but also to push myself to get the best time I can before I'm "allowed" to submit a new run
