Please add "Move clip to playhead" command, similar to one in AE or Apple Motion.

That would decrease amount of unnecessary mouse clis for a very common clip manipulations in timeline (like moving clips around).

Also, not to be confused with existing "Ripple trim to playhead" and similar. I want to move whole clip, not the cut point.

how in the .... is this not at least an OPTION to implement?!?! it's such a basic.. BASIC.. BEYOND BASIC functionality.. I can't believe there's not even an option to setup your own shortcut for it.

this annoys me so much. After Effects has this function using the forward and backward braket keys and its a time saver. How one earth did adobe mess this up.

How has this not been implemented yet? All this time I assumed it was a hidden shortcut, but reading this it sounds like it doesn't even exist.

If you scroll through the timeline using the up and down arrows, you are able to select clips with the keyboard shortcut 'D'. When pressing 'D' once positioned at an empty space, this space will be selected. Press ALT+BACKSPACE, this will ripple delete the empty space, and move the clips behind it towards/against the playhead. Not sure if this is helpfull for your situation, but it keeps you from reaching for your mouse.

There are so many things in AE that I wish were in Premiere. In some ways, AE has better editing features than Premiere. If only the two teams were in the same company and spoke to each other…..

Seriously, this would be SO useful. No idea why this doesn't exist in Premiere, because it exists in After Effects and it's one of the commands I use more than any other.

Since Adobe either never reads our comments or just flat out ignores them, I'd recommend the plugin Excalibur. It has this feature and many more. It brings a lot of AE type features, like this and "Incremental Save", to Premiere.
