While we are able to option/alt-click a marker and drag to give it a duration, it would be a bit quicker to have a keyboard shortcut that would convert an in and out selection to a marker with that duration. And also, to be able to right click a marker duration and have the option to mark that as an in and out selection.

I second that. Davinci Resolve has this option and I use it all the time there. Over in Premiere it now feels like an essential feature is missing.

I use markers in the source panel and timeline a lot and they are indispensable, but I agree this would be extremely helpful. Three other observations on this subject. 1. Could the marker range endpoint snap to the playhead? 2. Would it be possible to have the ability to select multiple ranged markers from within the source monitor and send them to a timeline? 3. Would it be possible for the navigate to next marker keyboard shortcut to recognize a ranged clip's endpoint as a marker? This would make setting in and out points much simpler. Thanks for all your hard work.

Here here. This would save a good bit of time in aggregate in all situations, but especially when I'm working on a laptop and the Marker dialogue box will often block the notated duration of my In and Out points.
