[comp.sys.mac.misc] Finder Shortcut mistake, sorry 'bout that

fs285119@seas.gwu.edu (Scott Cherkofsky) (12/06/90)

In the last article I sent out, I talked about some of the Finder Shortcuts
that I knew.  Well, I messed up and told you one that was wrong.

Shift-command drag to copy the file instead of dragging it os wrond and should
be:

Shoft-option.

Again, when these two a pressed and you drag a file from one folder to the
next the file will be copied into the folder while leaving the original
copy behind in its normal folder.

Sorry for the problems this might have caused.

Scott.

Actually, it's just option-drag. You don't need the shift key. (Shift Key 
is used for extending or toggling the selection; it has no further effect 
once you start dragging.)
