Answers.Text: You can trim the start or end of a clip in 1 keystroke. Park the playheads where you want the in-point to be and hit the letter *q* This will ripple delete all of the selected clip from the start up to the current time. The letter *w* will trim the end to the current playhead position, doing a ripple edit as it does.

Comments.Text: You could use the kyboard shortcut sequence *down-arrow,  down-arrow, shift+delete*, repeat. That should delete every second clip. You could use something like autohotkey to do this (on windows).

  Using [Autohotkey](https://autohotkey.com/download/) for Windows I could solve the Problem. If I had known this program before, I would have saved so much time!
  After installing Autohotkey I just wrote a small script:
  
  ```
  ^+m::
      WinActivate, Adobe Premiere
      Send, d
      Send, +{del}
      Send, {Down}
  Return
  
  ```
  
  and saved it as *premiere.ahk* and double clicked it. Now I can use Ctrl+Shift+m to select the clip under the playhead and ripple delete it and move playhead to the next clip.
  
  So now I just need to press Ctrl+Shift+m multiple times to delete every second clip. This is so much more convenient. You obviously can set the hotkey as you like. It doesn't have to be Ctrl+Shift+m.

  6. Click on the timeline where I want to cut.
  7. Press Ctrl-K to cut there.
  8. Click on the clip to the *right*.
  9. Click on the timeline where I want to cut.
  10. Press Ctrl-K to cut there.
  11. Press **Shift-Delete** to delete the clip to the left (the currently-selected clip).
  12. Repeat.
