How to remove fades caused by auto crossfade?

[twelvetone]

If I overlap two clips (and AutoCrossfade does its thing), try different overlaps, then change my mind and pull them apart again, the fades stay on both clips. So far I always have always restored them manually, making auto crossfade less than convenient.

Is there a way to separate the clips so the edges are restored? Holding Ctrl? Alt? Shift? Something?

Reaper does this by default.

When I change my mind about a process involving multiple edits I use the undo history to revert to the original state.  You could probably create a key binding for 'history' to make it more efficient. Cheers.

Sure, but there are many other situations.

I'll just re-ask without giving an example in case somebody knows.

Is there a way to reset the fades caused by auto crossfade when pulling them apart again, other than manually?

If you know Reaper, it does it automatically.

I just checked and sadly it's true, the fades are simply there after disconnecting two clips. What you can do is to disconnect them in two step, first move one clip back to achieve smallest overlap possible then disconnect, you'll end up with much smaller fades. But it seems you can't disconnect two clips with fades going automatically back to zero. I'd call them semi-auto crossfades. Unless there's a setting somewhere to change that, buried in the menus, I think it's a bad design of the feature.
