As a Mac user, I am accustomed to drag-and-drop with the Option key performing a copy.  However, it doesn't work in the Model Explorer.

Steps to reproduce:

1. In the Model Explorer, use the "Import -> Import Package from User Model"
   context menu action to load another model into the current editor (use the
   "Load" import action, not "Import" or "Copy").
2. Expand the imported package and select some elements contained within it.
3. Holding down the Option key, drag the selected elements into the main model.
4. Observe the "no-smoking" cursor that denies the drop.
5. Make the imported package writable by invoking the "Enable Write" context
   menu action on it.
6. Repeat step 3.
7. Observe the same result as in step 4.

Moreover, usually the "Navigate to diagram <name>" pop-up menu appears while I'm holding down the Option key with the mouse over the package on which I'm trying to drop the dragged elements.  This visually interferes with the drag-and-drop operation.
