How to insert caption item / move multiple caption items? (Premiere Pro 14.9 and earlier)

Hi!
Imagine this situation, some movie is ready, including all captions. Then, out of nowhere, someone claims that a particular scene or clip is missing in the whole movie. Inserting the missing clip, adjusting the music can be done in just a few minutes. However, I was unable to figure out how to shift/move around multiple (closed) caption items. I can move single items by dragging them on the timeline, but how do I insert a caption item and shift all the following caption items to match the new time code of the modified video track? I was unable to figure out how I can select multiple items and move those along the time line together.

 

I'm sure there is a way to accoplish this, can someone please tell me how?

Sorry but that's just botch. That way I'd have to deal with multiple tracks, copy & pasting contents between those is even more difficult.

To all those facing similar issues:

I ended up adding captions with the free tool Subtitle Edit. It even auto calculates the duration a single caption should be displayed. It was way faster and far more comfortable than Adobe's flimsy solution.

I finally figured out why the clip sometimes snaps forward when attempting to trim forward! You have to make sure the caption clip extends to THE END OF THE SEQUENCE! When you insert captions, the clip usually stops when the captions stop. Trim the clip forwar first at the end, then go back and edit your captions.
