See attached video.

In short: when selecting a face, one may translate it (to adjust the size of the brush as normal, of course) or optionally apply a modifier key to clip the brush as well.

The process ends with both brushes still selected, and can be further compounded.

This is called 'extrude inside', see extrude shortcut in menu.Help.General.Mouse Shortcuts

Amazing. I had asked a few other NRC and quake mappers but none knew off the top of their head.

I don't seem to be able to actually input this, but I was able to witness other users doing it in real time. I'll re-open if I can't figure this out.

It seems you have to do this just from having a brush selected with no real tool in use; having a face or move tool opened kinda blocked it. A habit I'll have to get used to I guess.

Right, it's available in default manipulator mode. Other manipulators are focused on doing their niche stuff. Face thing is not a tool, it's component mode. Most of manipulators are applicable in all component modes.
