   How ?   Its not something your computer will tell, or even hint you about,   
   and its also not mentioned when using the other method, the right   
   mousebutton drag-and-drop.   
      
   In other words: you would need to accidentily stumble over such info or   
   somebody needs to have told you.  Its not knowledge humans get born with,   
   and is, when not used regulary, easy to forget (besides the "damn, which key   
   causes which effect again ?  How/where do I check ?" problem ofcourse)   
      
   And yes, I have, in 15+ years, probably heard about, and forgotten it a   
   number of times too. :-\   
      
   You know what I am wondering about ?   That you did not mention that right   
   mousebutton drag-and-drop with ts context menu ... Did you forget all about   
   it ?  :-p
