Add keyboard shortcuts for Overlay, Insert Before, Insert After and Append

Quoting from the Adobe Premiere Pro Classroom in a Book:

 

The Overlay, Insert Before, and Insert After edits are available only when dragging a clip onto the appropriate drop zone in the Program Monitor. There are no buttons or single-key shortcuts that achieve the same results.

 

Why are these only available here?Why are these only available here?expand image

 

Why? This must be the easiest fix in the world. The features are already in place. The only things lacking are the keyboard shortcuts. Why?

 

Please add them! Plus one for Append (add after last clip in timeline). We needed them in CS5 and before, and we still need them.

About the Append keyboard shortcut, it would be great if pressing a modifier key could prevent the playhead from automatically moving to the end of the timeline.

In all honesty, never use it.
Don't see any advantage over dragging to timeline.

Some people work faster with keyboard shortcuts.

Thank you for posting this. Not being able to use keyboard shortcuts for basic editing like this is like using an editing software from the 90s. 

This is one of the most impactful shortcuts to an editing software logistics time.

Advantage over dragging to timeline is that you a. don't have to take hands off keyborad and b. can then script it.
