Actually it looks like that particular thing may have been missing from the documentation! I will try to fix that up for the v2 docs when I get a chance to tune them up.

But using Ctrl to drop copies is actually also used in some other areas that are covered in the v1 documentation, like in the docs for the Transform/Rotate command, which says:

"You can check the "Make copies" button or hold down the Ctrl key when clicking the last point to drop rotated copies of the object."

It's also mentioned under Transform/Scale as well.


> Is there another shortcut key list I should be aware of?

This one is actually a mouse action + modifier key, which in MoI is categorized as a different type of action than a modifier key + keystroke, such as Ctrl+A for example.

Actions that are triggered by mouse actions do not show up in the Options / Shortcut keys list - that area only holds actions that are triggered fully by keystrokes and not mouse button clicking or dragging.
