New commands for using clips using the keyboard

David states "The first two commands are on the cursor to sub menu, on the Transport menu. The next four commands are on the select sub menu, on the Edit menu. (These six are obviously subject to being moved almost anywhere in the reorganization :) ). The last two commands are occult."

Eight new commands, all of which interact with the clips on the focused track. As yet, there are no default shortcuts:

  1. Cursor to > Previous clip boundary
  2. Cursor to > Next clip boundary
  3. Select > Previous clip boundary to cursor
  4. Select > Cursor to next clip boundary
  5. Select > Previous clip
  6. Select > Next clip
  7. Clip Left (not on a menu)
  8. Clip Right (not on a menu)
Commands for moving the cursor to next/previous clip boundary on ANY track are pending. So as now, if the last clip in track one ends at 5s and the last clip in track two ends at 4s, there is no way to navigate between the clip ending at 4s and that ending at 5s without moving track focus.

Possible MIDI
