Remove Gaps Between All Files in Multitrack Session

Suppose I have a multitrack session in Adobe Audition CC 2017.  Suppose there are many files loaded into the multitrack session, but there are several unpredictable gaps in between them (such as in the following image):

Is it possible to quickly and easily remove all gaps between clips in a multitrack session so as to achieve the same effect of "ripple deleting" every single gap in between each pair of clips?  I'm just looking for an easy to way to go from that to this:

Is there any shortcut to delete all of this space that I don't know about?  Basically I just want all of my clips "snapped" up against each other in the same order, simply without the extra time in between.

    I'm afraid that rather annoyingly, there's only an option to delete single gaps on a track between two clips, and no option to do this to a multiple selection. If you want to experiment, it's a ripple-delete option when you have two clips selected, and the cursor is between them.

    I just setup a really simple macro to remove gaps. Takes a few seconds. 

     

    Here's a video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLoMzBfIsOY

     

    Basically you just set a hotkey for "Ripple Delete Gap in Selected Track" which is under Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.  then setup a simple repeat macro that looks like this (Right Arrow, Hotkey) and after you run the macro use your zoom level to control how precise / fast you want the macro to execute it's task.
