So, it looks like the option key down only should have meaning when the key up event happens--whether the user has had it on or off previous doesn't matter. From what Tomas pointed out, the Finder (and it looks like iMovie) use an arrow with a green "+" when a copy operation might happen (i.e., user holding down the option key). I don't see this arrow listed in "NSCursor" as an option; I'll have to track it down.

Thanks,

Mark

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.

"Pressing the Option key during the drag-and-drop sequence should not "latch" for the remainder of the sequence"
