I'm not entirely sure I understand your question/problem. What do you mean by "stop a video in its layer"?

Place the cursor where you want the out point to be (either on the timeline or in the trimmer). Press "O" to set the out point. Then hit "S" to slice.

Yes what you detail would work (just trying to save key strokes, mouse movements)

Problem with that is you don't always want to slice/trim where the out point is.

Isn't the helper tool CUT doing what you ask for?

It does not expand events though. But I don't find it useful other way the Vegas internal trim function does it. I worked with "expand event to the cursor position" in NLEs like DNE2000 and SpeedEdit but the very disadvantage is you don't see the expanded content until this step is done. Thus it becomes a workflow of trial & error. So for to expand events I prefer the regular trim function.

The O -- (out) -- key, companion to the I -- (in) -- key ... is only to set the begining and end of the LOOP REGION.

It has nothing to do with trimming anything.

I thought I would just jump in here and say how extremely helpful it can be to go into the options and personally assign each key to the command that you prefer. I had a bunch of old habits that were screwing me up until I customized the whole thing.
Now editing is a breeze because I assigned everything to the left side so I can click with the right hand and commando left.

helps me loads...

But try to remember (if you *do* change the default hot-keys) to mention that you've changed them .. if you ask here why "such-and-such" key no longer works the way it did .. and we think the key in question is set to it's default settinig when it was changed to something else.

"It has nothing to do with trimming anything."

Unless you use it for trimming clips in the Trimmer window.

I wouldn't like the option referenced by the OP.

My Vote is for buttons:
- Go To > IN
- Go To > OUT

Don't we already have these? Home=Go to In End=Go to End

Yep... if the IN/OUT Region is selected:
HOME = Go To IN
END = Go To OUT

Satisfied... for now.
