Trim in to playhead shortcut

Hi!

Is it possible to trim a clip to playhead using a keyboard shortcut? I have seen some references to this feature but it might be for Pro only. Not sure if "trim to playhead" is the correct nomenclature so I will try to explain to avoid misunderstandings. I have positioned the playhead some frames into a clip and I would like to trim away these first frames before the playhead. My current procedure is to move the mouse and click on the clip start and then "trim" the start to the playhead.

I am using Adobe Premiere 15.

Best regards,

Henrik

Not sure why nobody mentioned this:

"alt/option + [ " to cut the beginning of the clip, or closed bracket "]" to cut the end.

      Hi,

      As mentioned above in this thread, You can press ctrl+k, it will split the clip and then you can delete first part.

      Thanks,

      Not sure what you are after, but.....

      Press the "K" key to split the clip.  Press the back arrow key to move the marker.  Tap the mouse to select the piece under the marker.  Press delete. 

      For me, it is easier to drag the edge of the clip into the marker.

        Thanks for the tip, it is an option to what I was asking. The difference is that by deleting the unwanted frames it is difficult to add them again if you change your mind in a later stage of the editing. With the trim option you can just "re-trim" the starting point a bit.
