Add multi-split to timeline clips #1494

Closed bmatherly closed 9 months ago

bmatherly commented 9 months ago

Add a new action (SHIFT + S) to split all clips under the playhead. As requested here: https://forum.shotcut.org/t/split-across-multiple-tracks/293 https://forum.shotcut.org/t/automating-keyboard-shortcuts-with-autohotkey/12608/10 https://forum.shotcut.org/t/easier-workflow-solution/1456/7 https://forum.shotcut.org/t/propagation-on-tracks/39448/4 https://forum.shotcut.org/t/editing-basics-ripple-multiripple/20488/7

Also, add support for multiple-selection to the existing split command. Now, Shotcut will first look for one or more selected clips under the playhead and split those. If not selected clips on under the playhead, then Shotcut will revert to the current behavior to select a clip based on track selection.

Also added menu entry to the timeline menu image

While reviewing this I was a little surprised to find the Split commands in the Selection submenu. We may have had a discussion about this, but I forget. I was looking first in Edit. The Split commands are drowning in a pool of menu items that all start with capital S and "Select" making them harder to spot. Do you agree to move them to the Edit submenu?

I had exactly the same thought. But I didn't want to mix the change in with this review. Done in f62db92c138b295778099117e6e1f156a392ca9a
