I too have thought about this for some time. It needs to function with as little user input as possible.
I believe the most intuitive way to do this, would be to have the Clip one wants to split selected (highlighted), and this could even work for multiple, stacked selected clips. Then, the split command would split all clips at the master playback head. If the playback head is not over any selected clips, then no splitting could actually occur.
The reason I chose the playback head as the split point is it would seem to be easier to split at very tight samples, since I can use the playback head to hear it. The problem with using the edit-head is I would need to first, find my split point with the playback head, then move the edit-head to the same point. Too much redundancy IMO. I also don't see any point in having the track selected, just the Clip(s).
What do you think?
EDIT: Having multiple stacked clips selected and all being split is probably asking to much. As long as the play head is parked where the split point takes place, It would be easy enough to just selected the next clip, split it, and so on.
