Yeah, that's essentially what I'm doing now, but I'm wondering if there's something similar to CTRL+T, but it automatically time shifts the trimmed audio to 0:00 without having to do it manually.

But I still think we should be logging this as an ENH in Bugzilla (and P3 with a Release Note)

That optionality could be part of the ENH ...

At that time, I was the new boy, V was the senior developer, and if I recall correctly, he disagreed.
