I’m not sure having to hold shift to select multiple clips makes sense in the editor view. In all other video editing tools, the select tool is contextual: Drag in an empty space and it becomes multi-select. But when you click and drag on a click, it becomes a select/move tool. This seems simple enough to implement, just make it so that shift isn’t required on the click and drag to act as a select/multi-select and then do a check on click and drag to see if the cursor is over a clip to change it to a select/move tool for clips.

We will keep current Shift. It’s required because we have not snapped and snapped channels. Next update will have also some Multiselect Group Options. For start – for text layers.

Got it, would there be no way to make it optional for users who don’t use snapped channels? If not, I understand 👍

Ok. After some experiments. Shift will continue to work for group clicks. Area selection will not require Shift. Gate for snapped channels will be removed
