[~maxandersen], I faced some troubles when I tried to read Alt key:

UBUNTU:
There are two ways which I tried:
1. method dragOperationChanged in DropTargetListener - it works fine with *Ctrl* and *Shift* keys. It does not work with *Alt* key at all.
2. KeyListener - it works fine with any kind of key combinations, but it does not work during drag&drop at all.

One more thing - on Ubuntu if you press *Alt* and start dragging element from palette - Ubuntu will move current window. It looks like there is nothing we can do about it.

WINDOWS:
Method dragOperationChanged in DropTargetListener works fine with *Ctrl* and *Alt* keys. It does not work with *Shift* (called but does not change operation)

MacOs:
Method dragOperationChanged in DropTargetListener works fine only with *Alt/Option* key.
But if we go with *Ctrl* on Ubuntu and Window, *Ctrl* changes drop operation to *Copy* operation
On Mac - the same operation you can get with *Alt/Option* key (just as you asked)

Is it OK to have different keys on different operating systems (*Ctrl* for Linux and Windows and *Alt/Option* for Mac)for this feature?

WDYT?

> sometimes when demoing or just trying a few things quickly or dragging trivial elements it would be nice being able to not have the wizard dialog show up.
> could we make it so when holding in Alt it will not show the dialog but just do whatever clicking the finish button would directly do ?
