Sometimes though, you might like - to trim a region that directly adjoins another, and keep this relationship - the same—you are not trying to make one of the regions extend - over the other—you would like the junction to move in one - direction or the other as part of the trim. This requires trimming both + trim operation, but nothing else is. Sometimes though, when trimming a region + that directly adjoins another, the desired result is to move the boundary + between the regions and not to make these regions overlap. This requires trimming both regions on either side of the junction, in opposite directions. - Push/Pull trim, activated by pressing shift key before - starting the drag, will do just that.
