Editing with Edit Point

Most edit functions operate on a single "Edit Point". The edit point can be any of: playhead (default), the mouse or an active marker. The choice of Edit Point (by default) also sets the Zoom Focus.

EP to next region sync: ;
EP to prev region sync: '
cycle to next grid snap mode: 2
cycle to next zoom focus: 1

insert time: Control+t
move EP to playhead: Alt+Return
next EP w/marker: Control+`
next EP w/o marker: `

trim front: j
trim region end to edit point: Shift+}

trim region to end of prev region: Control+j
trim region to start of next region: Control+k
use next grid unit: 3
use next grid unit: 4
use next musical grid unit: Control+4
use previous grid unit: Control+3

Aligning with the Edit Point

Align operations move regions so that their start/end/sync point is at the edit point. "Relative" operations just align the first region and moves other selected regions to maintain relative positioning.

align end(s): Alt+a
align start(s): Control+Win+a
align start(s) relative: Win+a
align sync points: Shift+a
align sync points (relative): a
range end to next prev edge: Control+>
range end to next region edge: >
range start to next region edge: Control+<
range start to prev region edge: <

cut: Control+x
delete: Delete
paste: Control+v
redo: Control+r
undo: Control+z
