Ctrl-D didn't add my default transition

I'm between clips on the timeline and hit Ctrl-D, expecting the default transition to appear, but nothing happens.

So I go to the Effects Panel and drag my default transition between the clips and the transition appears.

Why didn't the shortcut add the Transition?

   I get the transition if no clips are selected. But that puts a transition between all my clips, doesn't it?

If I select the clip and put the playhead between the clips then hover over the end, til the icon appears; the the double arrows, then click Ctrl-D nothin happens.

No.

Just select the cut with your mouse, not the clip(s).

Thanks for that, very helpful.  I've been wondering how those options were used. So yes, the tracks are Targeted.

I have tried applying the transition to the clip I want to add a transition to, and I have tried going to the Sequence that the clip is in but Ctrl-D will just not add the transition.

Surely I'm doing something wrong, but what?
