You could do it the following way: Create a custom action with the following elements: "Go to end of time selection" "Items: Split items at edit cursor (no change selection)" "Time selection: Shift right (by time selection length)" If you've got that custom action, you can assign it to a key or a toolbar button. If you now make a time selection and press the assigned key, all Items are split at the end of the time selection and after that the time selection is shifted right by its own length. You have to take care though, that no items are selected, otherwise only these items would be split. If nothing is selected, all items on all tracks are split. HTH -Data
