Can't trim the selected clip using "Trim Next to Playhead" or "Trim Previous to Playhead"

I want to be able to trim my clips using Q and W, just by selecting them and placing the playhead to where I want the trim to go, just like I do in Davinci Resolve. Is this possible in Premiere Pro?

 

I know I can manually lock and unlock all the other tracks, but the point here is to use the shortcut to work fast, not slowly. Imagine having multiple tracks and having to manually lock all the other tracks just to be able to edit a single clip, this is a joke!

 

And if that's not possible in Premiere Pro, is there any plugin that can solve this problem?

For some reason I can't edit or delete my post, so just correcting a mispell:
