The V4 ripple is great, but I'd like the option to make the play cursor move to where you've just edited when you ripple. This would be particulary useful for speech editing, music editing, etc. It's how editors such as SADiE have always worked. Here's what I mean:
- You place two cuts in an event, the in and out point of your edit.
- You hit delete.
- Currently, the cursor stays where it is. So, to play the edit you've just made, you have to move the cursor to that point in the timeline.
This really slows down what should be some speedy editing jobs. An option in preferences to make the cursor move to the cut point would be great, as obviously you wouldn't want this behaviour all of the time.
While I'm at it, generally the keyboard shortcuts are fine, but I'd love the ability to move, for example, split to another key, such as numberpad zero or whatever. Also, a toolbar button for split would be handy for when you want to do lazy mouse only operation.
What do people think about my cursor/ripple idea?
