Created attachment 168950 [details] How shortucts look like Hello! There are action that are missing in kdenlive and overcomplicates workflow, I have to make 2 extra steps to just make "cut". Bassicaly, almost any app have "CTRL+X" action to cut things. This action is the sequence of COPY -> DELETE. Kdenlive has "cut", but some kind of "slice", not cut in the default meaning. Why the absence of it is bad? Let me explain on my workflow. I have 2 sequences. I want to cut 2 clips from 1st sequence and paste it in 2nd sequence. Without this CTRL+X action I have to 1) Copy 2) Switch to 2nd sequence 3) Paste in 2nd sequence 4) Return to 1st sequence tab 5) Finally delete. This is very bad UX. So my proposal is: 1) Add CTRL+X as "CUT". CUT is an action to cut selected clips from timeline as a whole. 2) Rename current "CUT" to something that are more suitable by meaning. I would suggest "SLICE". That is what we are doing with this action
