move Feature Suggestion: "Move clip in track"

[Mauro Gaspa]

Is it possible to insert a function like this "move clip in track"?
Many times it happened to me that I have a midi or audio clip in a track in a very precise position and I had to move it by hand to another track maintaining the same exact position.
It would be interesting a command with the right mouse button on one or more clips to move or possibly duplicate the same clip on an existing track of my choice but maintaining the same position.
This option could be a good choice for those who want to move multiple clips saving a lot of time.

Hold shift when you drag.

Or select the clip, use whateve shortcut you have bound to set Now=From (if you don't, bind one; it's indispensible), focus the target track and Ctrl+C, V or Ctrl+X, V as needed.

Thanks for your suggestions.
They are nice solutions but they are not as immediate as a single click.
In one solution you still have to drag and in the other you have to give more commands.
I meant to suggest a solution for the clip like the one already existing when I want to move a track to a folder "Move to folder", with the difference that I move the clip to another track using a single click without changing its position.

Right-clicking, selecting Move or Copy and specifying a destination track is at least two clicks as well. This is potentially only marginally more efficient and not worth crowding the context menu with more options in my view.

Sorry, but I don't think so. First of all, for tracks, this feature has been around for quite some time, it would be enough to implement it for clips on tracks too.

Num Lock #2 to move the clip down to another track.

Num Lock #8 Move the clip up to another track.

This command is also not suitable because I have to press num block + 8 (up) or num block + 2 (down) several times on the keyboard to get to the track I want to move the clip to.
Let's imagine that my track is 20 positions lower or higher, I have to hold down num block and repeat the number 2 or 8 20 times depending on where I have to go. It is not very practical and moreover difficult to follow visually and easily mistaken.

Then just create a new track underneath or duplicate the track with the events and move that track to where you want it to be. You can also copy/cut and paste| special cut/paste. I don't see anything wrong with using the num lock key, I'm using it every time when I speed record rap artists.
