Is it possible to revert 3dsmax back to the legacy shift+drag behaviour in edit poly / editable poly

I've not done much modelling by hand in a few years and miss the good old days where I could select an element, hold shift and duplicate it.  
Nowshift+move defaults to extruding your selected component and in the case of an element does nothing.  
I can detach to element as a clone but that is not fluid or pleasant and I don't like it

It's ctrl+shift+drag now. Doesn't make much sense and isn't even unified across different tools, but it is what it is.

Ideally, you'd simply be able to switch Smart Extrude to that new combination and reassign the old behavior to shift+drag, but I haven't found a script or plugin for that. Might not even be accessible. Perhaps with an external shortcut program / something like Keyhydra if that's still around.

You can turn Smart Extrude off completely, though:
