OK, so the subject title is not really conveying what I want. It will be easier to describe with an example:
I use the CTRL+click_drag_release to copy LV objects ALL the time. Really, ALL the time.
At least 10 times per day, I seem to end up relocating my original object instead of making a copy of it. This of course breaks the wires associated with the original object etc etc and immediately calls for a CTRL-Z! Same problem on the FP, I end up moving the original control instead of copying it.
This is probably happening because I am releasing the mouse button too soon.
Now I use this technique in a variety of other packages (Visio etc), and the exact same physical behaviour from myself very seldom results in a moved object, it is 99% of the time a copy.
In LV it seems you have to pause for a fraction of a second before letting go of the mouse button (while still holding CTRL).
What I would like is for the time between releasing the mouse button and the CTRL to be decreased (or settable somewhere for obsessive compulsive's like myself).
This may seem like a stupid, totally trivial request, but it really breaks work flow having to reach for CTRL-z when it hasn't worked, and waiting for the object to be dropped seems to also break my work flow.
