This is what we concluded in the DHTML style guide: http://dev.aol.com/dhtml_style_guide#draganddrop The suggested Control+M mainly is used to signal that the set of objects we want to take action on is now complete which makes it easier for the developer to analyze the set and mark appropriate drop targets. Without this signal the set of available drop targets analysis would need to be done with each addition or subtraction to/from the set of items to be dragged, potentially a computationally expensive task.
