Alt+Drag to Copy Gone!!!

I have noticed that with the latest version of Grasshopper you can no longer copy components by holding Alt and dragging the component, I am really hoping that this function will be brought.

Cheers

It wasn't taken out on purpose, ALT keys for some reason which I haven't figured out yet stopped working in some recent release.

Does this mean that it will be coming back? Could it be attached to a different key?

Eventually I'd like to put it under right-click. I.e.:

Left button down
Move Mouse
Right Button down to create a copy at the current location
Repeat steps 2 & 3 indefinitely
Left mouse button up (if copies were made, this will not move the original object, otherwise it will)

This approach should work for objects, wires and whatever else is draggable + copyable.
