A neat visual style and the movement feels good. One thing I'd recommend is changing the attach button to anything else but Shift. On Windows, if you press the Shift key several times in a row, a dialogue pops up asking if you want to turn sticky keys on (for accessibility). X would maybe be OK? I don't think it's position moves on international keyboards...
