[Cin] What is in today's GIT checkin, you ask...

[Phyllis Smith]

*Terje:* short note, unfortunately x265 updated around January 19th is
version 2.9 and usually we like to run for at least a week before doing new
builds so probably will not update to 3.0 just yet.

*Sam/Igor*: will have to see what can be done to make these new changes
more friendly and resolve any confusion.  Here is some initial feedback
though.

The Ctrl key is already gobbled up by the Snap feature, which was an
important feature request and has been in a long time so can not be given
up.  Yes, it is used in conjunction with Alt+ another character, but as
soon as the Ctrl key is seen, the code takes off with snapping.

GG would like to have the Shift key back for the mouse actions instead and
agrees it would be nice not to have to use Shift for the split view BUT
currently has no alternative plan.  *Still thinking about what to do... *

My understanding is that there is extra clicking involved because in order
to use these you have to first "select" the appropriate tool.  I could very
well be wrong. Using all 3 mouse buttons is better than having to select
each time.

I can not recall now why the Shift key was necessary, but I am pretty sure
it was due to a code conflict.  I will find out later.

Yes it does.  If you look at drag1.txt where is says, for example, "roll
left" that means the drag handle is pointed left and then the < and >
characters over the textboxes indicate you are dragging with the
left-facing arrow to the left (<) or to the right (>).  And then where it
says "roll right" that means the drag handle is pointed right.  It took me
a loooooooooong time to test and understand drag1.txt but it was necessary
for programming purposes to get the code correct and also to ensure that
all of the cases that worked in the Old Way were incorporated into the New
Way.

Also, in case IgorB did not notice, there are the keys "11" , "00", "10"
... to indicate that the effects and autos get correctly moved with the
clips.  It is quite complicated code.

I hope this helps a little and you know we will continue to improve
whatever we can!   gg/Phyllis
