SUMMARY There are two issues: 1. Adding a mix with keyboard requires a clip to be selected, even if the playhead is at a clip meeting point. Isn't that a regression? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a timeline with two clips 2. Press Alt + arrow to go the the joint 3. Press U OBSERVED RESULT No mix applied. Kdenlive complains about missing selection EXPECTED RESULT Mix applied 2. Adding a mix with keyboard does not respect the track (de)activated state. Since all other keyboard editing does, it is unespected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a timeline with two AV clips 2. Deactivate the audio track 3. Press Alt + arrow to go the the joint, + to select a clip 4. Press U OBSERVED RESULT Mix is applied to both video and audio track EXPECTED RESULT Mix applied ONLY to video track, because audio track is deactivated.

Thank you for reporting. To #1: after step 2 you have to press "+" to select a clip. To #2: At the moment it's only working if you lock the audio track. The best way would be place the cursor on the cut and activate the track where you want to apply the transition. If you are not on a cut 2 transitions should be applied on both the extremities of the clip where the cursor is where we have an active track. This way everything becomes faster and more efficient.
Thank you for taking these up. 1: I'm aware of the shortcut to select a clip, I just believe this was not the case in earlier versions. And if doubleclicking does not require a selection, it would be logical if using U wouldn't eiter - esp with the playhead at clip joint position. 2: As for the activated state, the idea, iiutc, is that automated editing procedures will never be applied to deactivated tracks (bu always to active ones). So if applying a mix pr keyboard is an automated editing action, the ative state should be adhered. And as I said, as a user, I would expect that. Another note about mixes: They are applied to grouped clips, but not othwervise respecting the grouping. So if I click on a mix, only either the mix in the video track OR the mix in the audio track is selected. Likewise when changing duration by dragging. I find that mildly confusing.
Deleting a mix is not possible: Using the DEL key throws an error message about the key being ambiguous even though it is not and the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts dialog window shows only one use of DEL; and using the right-click > Delete Selected Item does not work either because the right-click selects the clip with the mix and deleting the selected item deletes the mix and the clip. This is for appimage version 23.08.4

I fixed the 2 issues mentioned in the original report as I think it is what most users would expect. However I cannot reproduce the problem with the "Del" key to remove a Mix. Is it on Windows ? Can you share a screenshot of your Kdenlive window so I can check which widgets are displayed in case one of them is messing up the shortcuts handling?

I encountered it in Linux but cannot reproduce today when trying to create the screenshots you asked for. Beats me. But if it happens again I will create screenshots. So, now that the DEL key works (again), could you check (and fix) the right-click and "Delete selected item" issue with Mixes? A right-click on a mix selects the clip instead, and a "Delete selected item" deletes the clip and the mix. This does not happen with a normal composition: a right-click only selects the composition. BTW: I hope you are feeling better and are on the road for a speedy recovery
