Phyllis, you are saying I can use it as before, but it doesn't work as before, sorry (this afternoon I tested the new version (built: Jan 25 2019) vs "20181231" version). Or maybe, is there a key to press together with the mouse button? I tried Ctrl, Alt and looked in Preferences.
The modes also depends on the arrow's direction on the edge, if it is right or left, or am I wrong?

When I used "Adobe Premiere Pro2", time ago, I remember that it had 4 icons for 4 different mode (ripple, rolling, slip, slide) and only LMB. But you know.

Like Sam, I always use split view on Compositor when I drag an edge (with Shift key). Other NLE use split view by default then the Shift key could be avalaible for the new modes, I think.
And I agree with Sam's points 1 and 2.

I know that you, GG and Phyllis, have spent a lot of time for that, but sorry, I repeat myself, for me is not very comfortable, now. Of course it is only my opinion.

Thank you for the changes. I find more options better and I can continue to use it as before, so I don't see it as problematic.

1.) I just find it problematic that there is no way to use the five different options without having to change the settings.  Five options on three buttons is a bit awkward. I have an alternative suggestion. I have added a photomontage.

With this option I extend the buttons. In my example I have used the Ctrl key, Igor suggested the Shift key for this, if you can think of a better one, then I would like to use another key as well. Whatever key you use, the main thing is a toggle switch. So I have the possibility to use all options without having to go into the settings every time.


2.) The split view in the compositor (Shift + Drag) I would define as an option in the settings. I almost always use the split view and would be happy if I always had it without having to press the shift key every time. People who have deactivated this option in the settings and only want to use it at certain places should have the possibility to activate it further temporarily with Shift + Drag. I would name the item as follows "Always use split view in compositor". Maybe you can think of a better phrase.
