How to drag multiple layers to a new tab?

I don't know of a simple drop and drag,but I have tried this method in CS6 (Mac) and it does work.

Select layers to be copied in the Layers panel
Right click on the selected layers.

click Duplicate Layers from the context menu

Select destination as what ever document you have open in PS
Done

Hello, you cannot drag from the layers panel, this has been requested several times already.

BUT, you can do it from the document itself. The explanation seems long, but it is an easy finger gym, once you've done it a few times.

You can switch temporarily to the move tool by holding the CTRL key (on a PC, CMD on a Mac).

Right-click when doing so gives you a list of the layers located under the cursor.

You can then target a first adjustment layer.

Continue holding CTRL or CMD, and add the SHIFT key. (Usually, Shift means "add" in Photoshop and in other programs) and right-click to add other adjustment layers to the targeted list.

Keep holding the CTRL(PC)/CMD(Mac) key, and drag the targeted layers to the tab of the other document, wait for Photoshop to switch to that one, and release the mouse on top of your canvas. (holding the shift key ensures centering of the layers)

Basically, CTRL+SHIFT+Right-click on a PC, CTRL+CMD+SHIFT on a Mac, then CTRL+drag.

You can remove the CTRL/CMD key if you switch to the move tool altogether.

Cool tip gener7.  One of these days I am going to take the time to go right through the menus, and context menus, to discover all those little things that have been there for ages, but I was always in too much of a rush to notice. 

Yes, I forgot  to add"besides the excellent method provided by Gener7" on my first line.
