<p>
The <dfn>nudge controls</dfn> will move the selected region(s) by a
fixed amount of time. The left and right buttons move either backward
or forward in time, and the small clock to the right of these buttons
sets the amount of time to nudge by.
</p>
<p>
The clock, as with all other clocks, can be <kbd
class="mouse">right</kbd>-clicked on to choose the desired <a
href="@@editing-clocks">time representation</a>. The menu also allows :
</p>
<ul>
<li><dfn>Set from Playhead</dfn> : the clock is the current position of the playhead</li>
<li><dfn>Locate to this time</dfn> : moves the playhead to the the clock time</li>
<li><dfn>Copy to clipboard</dfn> : copies the clock (with formatting) to the clipboard.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Combining these three options allow to e.g. memorize the current
playhead position (<em>Set from playhead</em>) and reposition the
playhead (<em>Locate to this time</em>) at that position after
another edit.
</p>
<p>
If there are no selected objects, the nudge controls can be used to
move the playhead backward or forward by the amount shown on the
clock.
