It's Command-Option-D. The problem is that is the same keyboard command to hide/show your dock.

If you do into System Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts, you can turn that Dock shortcut off.

You can leave the OS shortcut on and still drag a copy by.... using "Command-D" first...... then hitting "option". You'll know your dragging a copy by the "+"

I've just about finished my first week on a mac for the very first time, and was frustrated by the drag-a-copy command not working (wondering why rotate-a-copy was ok, but that's explained above), so I just changed the shortcut to ye-olde PC shortcut I was used to (CTRL-SHIFT-D)

I changed all my shortcuts to ctrl-whatever. I could never train my thumb to do on a MAC what my pinky used to do on a PC.

Watch out for 'Save As'!
