If you move an object by dragging it with middle mouse button while
holding down shift, this object pushes everything it meets - like a
snowplow. Of course, it only works if there is enough room for it to
push. If you hold down ctrl while dragging, it changes places with
other objects it meets on the way; if you hold down alt, it jumps over
all other objects without moving them. Yes, the hint is somewhat
cofusing, I agree. Anyone can think of a clearer way to explain this?
