…hold the ALT key while dragging an event

alt+drag doesn’t work for me, only ctrl+drag – am I missing something?

You need to first start dragging the event and only then hold ALT – the Windows shortcut icon will appear next to the cursor, as opposed to the copy icon.
You’re right that holding ALT and then clicking doesn’t work. That is configured to resize events without using the handles at the event’s start and end points (or in the note editor: when you want to resize notes while using the select tool).

I see what you mean now, though I’m not sure if the OP wanted a phantom copy or a unique copy. Either way you get an exact copy of the original, it’s just in the subsequent editing that there is a difference. I wonder if Frits should change it to ALT, then click/drag so it matches the Ctrl+click behaviour?..
