Attachment showed what I want.

***
If there is a subtitle line having more and more words in timeline, we can split/divide that line in subtitle editing section, with the help of scissor/eraser tool but,
Is there a way to merge/combine two or more short subtitle words/line with next or previous lines?
If yes, then explain please.
If not, add this functionality to the Kdenlive Video Editor.
See the image.
Thank You

Other than "undoing" a prior split, there isn't really any way to 'merge' clips in kdenlive
and I'm not even really sure what a UI for that might look like (how do you tell it how
you want the text merged?  there are lots of ways you might want to combine them).

You can already copy text between subtitles in the 'normal way' (selecting the bits you
want in the editor window for the clip you want to copy from, pasting it wherever you
want it in the clip you're copying to).  And deleting a clip you've superseded is trivial.

Does that not do what you want to do about as easily/flexibly/powerfully/intuitively
as manipulating text should be?
