Yes, I figured it was possible using the shift or ctrl + select method, but if the clips are spread out over the entire timeline, that gets a bit time consuming, especially when you have a LOT of them. The box drag would work fine, but it would always force the user to zoom completely out first, then box select over the entire track. I just think a group function would just be a much cleaner way to do this. The advantage is they always will stay grouped to each other (until ungrouped)....and any one selected and moved clip within that group, would move the group in unison, including up or down tracks.
Also, perhaps some type of modifier key should keep a clip, or group of clips locked in the correct position (L and R), except for up and down movement. Perhaps you already have this, and I don't know about it. :)
Do you have a list of your current keyboard commands handy?
