Or you could just shorten it to Command+Option+drag. Job done.

But who on earth would ever stumble on that bizarre combination!

With Windows (or Ubuntu) you don't 'generally' have to do anything, it
just happens all by itself and in my mind (and use) that simply can't
be beaten?

It's exactly the same logic as hardware being 'automagically' detected
and made available so why would you want apps to be any different?
