Create a ripple insert function (like many of your competitors have)

Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work in the method I'm trying which does work in other DAWs, which is to be able to copy a piece of audio in Multitrack and then paste that audio in a track in a way that moves the rest of the audio along. Yes, I relize that I could copy that audio into a new file, then use insert mode to insert the audio, but this creates an unnecesarry step and an extra file that I don't want to keep track of. Additionally, I realize I could go into Waveform, highlight a section, use insert mode, and go back into Multitrack, but again, it is an unnecesarry step. If I can copy and paste audio in Multitrack without going into Waveform, I should be able to ripple insert the same audio without needing to go into Waveform. If there is a way to do that, I haven't found it yet in Audition, but I have in other DAWs.

I think you'll find that Insert mode does exactly that - shoves the audio along, making the file longer.

Thank you! Mix Paste will work fine in Waveform, however, it doesn't offer the same functionality that Ripple Delete does in Multitrack (moving all subsequent clips to allow for pasted audio)

These functions are still all present if you select Mix Paste, rather than just Paste:

If you want to see it in action, there's a YouTube video:

Yes, yes, 100x yes! It is crazy that cheaper and far inferior DAWs have this feature but the engineers at Adobe can't seem to figure it out.
