ProTools Key Command Question

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Is there a function to restrict movement in time when moving a region
from one track to another? In other words, if I want to move a region
from one track to the track above, but want to make sure I don't move
the region in time, is there a command to restrict that? If I just drag
the region to the destination track, there's the possibility that I will
move it in time. In Samplitude I know if I hold down shift or control (I
can't remember the exact command) while dragging the object, the lateral
movement will be restricted. Is there a similar command in ProTools?

I know, I know, RTFM! But, I don't actually know what this function
would be called, and haven't been able to find it. Any help would be
much appreciated.

Thank you!

Thanks Dave, Also got an email from someone else on a MAC. Thanks for
the quick reply. I forgot to mention I'm on Windows. I figured it was
"Control" or "ALT" on Windows. But neither worked. I now just finally
tried the "Windows" key. I think that's what it's called. It's between
the "Control" and "Alt" keys on a windows keyboard. That did it, holding
down "Window" while dragging. I didn't think the "Windows" key would
have been used for anything.

All right, thanks for the quick replies.

Any idea what that function is called. If I had know, I probably could
have looked it up myself.
