FWIW, the HIG currently recommends:

Ctrl=Copy, Shift=Move, Shift+Ctrl=Create link, shortcut or alias.

The reason we suggest Shift+Ctrl instead of Alt is because that's the
recommendation in the Motif styleguide, so it's more likely to be
consistent with other non-GNOME apps you might be running on your
desktop.

Cheeri,
