Bug Description

1) Ubuntu 9.10
2) ?
3) OpenShot 1.0.0

The idea is to be able to create a film quickly. That means that the users must be able to quickly add a "split" mark where the film is stopped (for example).
In Pinnacle studio, it is possible to remove the end of the clip with "s", remove the begining with "i". It is really very helpful.

A ctrl+z would also be helpful.

P.S: Thanks for the nice job. OpenShot 1.0.0 is much more stable.

Thanks for the suggestion - so just to be clear, when pressing "s" or "i", the beginning/end of the clip isn't visibly removed from the timeline, it just identifies a region of the clip to play?

When pressing "i", the part between the actual begining of the clip and the position of the timeline cursor is removed from the timeline view.
Same for "s" but it removes the end of the clip from the position of the timeline cursor.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. This should be fairly easy to implement.

This patch add all the shortcuts on the menubar that were missing.
Now, only the menu Recent Project and the History action who have none. I think that 's difficult to implement one.
The new shortcuts are the following :
Ctrl + N : New file
Crl + O : open file
Crtl + F : Add a file
Crtl + I : Add a image sequence.
Ctrl + Shift + S : Save under
Ctrl + E : Export the video
Ctrl + T : Title Editor
Ctrl + B : BlenderTitle3d
Ctrl + A : DVD Creator
Crtl + P : Preferences

I'm looking to implement some others shortcuts in the contextual menu of the clip which will be the following :
Crtl + D : Duplicate
Crtl + R : Remove
Crtl + C : Proprieties Clip

After, i will see for add a visual information at the right side of the text (using the gtk.accellabel who seem to be the solution that i have add put a long time for find how do this operation).

Applied the latest version of the patch to the trunk. Thanks for the patch. If we need to change this bug back to "In Progress" to finish adding keyboard shortcuts, please do. Also, there is a "c" and "s" keyboard shortcut that cuts all clips where the playhead is overlapping. It does not behave exactly like described above, but it's a good start. =)
