option-drag & Cocoa

I know when an option-drag happens, I'm supposed to initiate a copy operation. From the examples I've seen, drags are set up in the -mouseDown: method, which is continually called. My question revolves around state: since I get continually called, the option key may turn on and off. Do most people save a state (option on/off) at the start of a drag, or honor the possibility of a continually changing option key? All the UI guidelines say is that an option key should initiate a drag, not what to do about the user pressing it mid-way through a drag or releasing it. Honoring a changing state could look weird (i.e., a copy might leave the original in place, and show an image moving during the drag; honoring the change would mean that the original would suddenly dissapear…)

Thanks,

Mark
