CLT C an item then moving the item on the x or y axis

So after I hit Ctrl C to copy an item, I then hold down the Ctrl and hit Shift key to move the item on the x or y-axis but the whole item moves instead of the copied item. how can I just move the copied item?

You can hold Ctrl and drag (a little plus sign will appear next to the cursor) to create a copy, you don't need to ctrl-c first. Ctrl and Shift and drag will copy along a locked axis.
