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

insert time: Cmd+t
move EP to playhead: Control+Return

use next grid unit: 4
use next musical grid unit: Cmd+4
use previous grid unit: Cmd+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): Control+a
align start(s): Cmd+Mod1+a
align start(s) relative: Mod1+a
align sync points: Shift+a
align sync points (relative): a
range end to next prev edge: Cmd+>
range end to next region edge: >
range start to next region edge: Cmd+<
range start to prev region edge: <

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