In your .GNUstepDefaults, NSGlobalDomain should look something like this:

    NSGlobalDomain = {
        BundlesFromLocal = YES;
        BundlesFromSystem = YES;
        BundlesFromUser = YES;
        GSBackend = "libgnustep-art";
        GSFileBrowserHideDotFiles = 0;
        GSFirstAlternateKey = Alt_R;
        GSFirstCommandKey = Alt_L;
        GSFirstControlKey = Control_L;
        GSFontAntiAlias = YES;
        GSSecondAlternateKey = "No Symbol";
        GSSecondCommandKey = "No Symbol";
        GSSecondControlKey = Control_R;
    };

note that " GSFirstAlternateKey = Alt_R; ": in this example you can copy
pressing the left alt key while dragging and you could link pressing left
or right ctrl if this would be implemented in NSFileManager.

You can use Preferences.app to set these.
