What do you suggest for the select-modes (clip, range, rectangle)?
Not really sure off the top of my head. It would need to be three adjacent keys using no modifier, to make it convenient (q, w, e, for example).
What would be really neat, but mostly likely would require a major rewrite of tracks and clips code, would have the mouse mode automatically change depending on whether the mouse pointer is in either the top half, or bottom half of the clip object. In example, if the mouse pointer is at the top part of a clip, Rectangle-Mode is automatically in effect. If the pointer is in the bottom half of the clip, Clip-Mode is in effect.
This would need to be the two most commonly used select-mode commands (and my two most used are probably not going to be the same as yours), or make it user configurable via the Options dialog. Doing the latter would be simple as far as the widgets are concerned. Make two widgets, "Top and Bottom Clip Mode", with a pop up requester for selection of one of the three modes. This would also allow for turning the "feature" off by selecting the same mode for top and bottom (but I already see a few problems with this, such as how would the keyboard commands for select-modes work in conjunction with this?).
Anyway, I'm just rambling. The keyboard commands for this are the most important ATM.
