Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2013-03-21 04:09:34 UTC 
While the realtime trim preview feature combined with the automatic ripple (aka magnetic/gapless timeline) is enough for me to do precise cuts, it seems that "JKL" trimming is a big deal for many people.

All it amounts to is:
- binding the "k" key as an alternative shortcut for play/pause
- binding the J and L keys to backward and forward playback, respectively.

Pressing the J key once plays in reverse at 1x speed. Pressing it twice plays backwards at 150% speed. Thrice = 200% speed. This depends on reliable and efficient reverse playback in GStreamer.

Pressing the L key does the same thing, but by playing forwards.

Pressing the K (pause) key will reset the playback speed to 100% for the next time you press J or L.

And while we're at it, this is quite similar to bug #572432, only simpler because it requires no user interface, just shortcuts.
