Copy/move by dragging with Ctr/Shift key held down

I'm not able to recreate that.
Maybe you do some unusal customization of some settings that create a conflict. But I don't think there can be.
Don't understand how it can not work for you. Do you have any system wide hotkeys tool or anything else that maybe can steal the keys presses ?

Yes, I have Ashampoo Snap but this uses the function keys only. In the original windows explorer drag and drop works fine.
Seems to be a problem of the configuration. I changed some settings and then it worked. But unfortunately I had to restore my OS and it got lost. Restoring a saved version of the config file didn't help. Can you provide a config file where it works? Will the config file be sufficient or does MC store settings in the registry. Or is there a way to set the settings to there initial values?
Best regards - Ulrich

I don't know what settings you change. It should just work.
MC do not store settings in registry.
Delete C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\ and it will restore default configuration

I've deleted the config folder and afterwards the settings, e. g. colors, had their initial values. I choosed "windows explorer style" at first start. But copying/moving files by holding the ctrl/shift key doesn't work. The behaviour is the same as before.

I don't know why it does not work for you.
There is no extra setting for that..  pressing shift/ctrl while dragging forced the operation to Move / Copy.
Only reason I can see this happen is if some other program is stealing the keypresses.
