I don't know if it will be implemented or not, but I enjoy thinking about how the features should work.

In the end it turns out that yes, you intend to edit midi only with the keyboard :O.
Personally I think it's crazy... For example, if there are chords, several notes would be selected, even if you only want to select one. That is inevitable with the keyboard, not so with the mouse.
However, I recognize that there are times when the keyboard is more precise.

The [Ctrl] key is the standard for selection/desection. It already works like that now with the mouse, the keyboard should not be different.

Now, [Ctrl] and arrows already have functions assigned in Qtractor.
So to move the transport (either by notes, or by beats) the user should choose diferent keys than the arrows.

I want to add something that I have also noticed and is related to all this. The edit/insert/sped functionality is meaningless.
Step recording (activating Record Clip) is fully functional with step (and I assume note-based, though I haven't tested this) head shifting.
In any case, I suppose that ignoring edit/insert/sped and allowing the user who wants to do so to disable the shortcut is enough.

And since we're at it, I think it would be clearer if Record_Clip was called Over_Record_Clip in both menus and Tooltips.
