Really appreciate it if there could be a shortcut functioning like "Split line at cursor/video position AND PLAY", which is really convenient when we need to cut big blocks into pieces continuously so that we don't have to hit play/pause repeatedly per line then. It could save thousands of clicks on average for a long video!

Like something reminiscent of how Aegisub does timing?

Not sure about how that works though, but I believe many operations deserve sort of an "auto-play-afterward" option, especially for some frequently used ones like this as I dreamed for years. :)

IDK how to do it, but in Aegisub, it looks like you can set the times for all subs and apply them in a single click.

"Split line at cursor/video position AND PLAY",

From start of first line in split?

@niksedk I mean, we aleady have the "Split line at cursor/video position" shortcut, which is good. It would be even cooler to have a way to have the video auto played after splitting because it could be very handy when too many splits have to be done in a project. As simple as that. :)

Ah, I meant where the playing should start?

Is that like this one I wrote? https://github.com/niubility000/PDJ-Media-Repeater

@niksedk Oh, the new line/second half line if you will. just play from where it's cut, and no repeat needed, so that I could then deal with the new line automatically because I always have this toggled:

@niubility000 Thanks man, I did try your gadget, but it requires username and password. But from the demo screenshots, I don't think it's what I really meant. I don't need any repeat and want to continue working till the end of the video.

the default account is admin:admin. you can set the repeat time to 1.

How is this: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases/download/4.0.10/SubtitleEditBeta.zip ?
Should the shortcut work both in text box and waveform?

@niksedk It's working like a charm! I can't imagine how many clicks will be saved from then on. thank you sooo much!

Should the shortcut work both in text box and waveform?

Good question. I think it may depend on the habit of each user because some users prefer to set the text cursor position first, while others may always set the video cursor first (like me), and it could also be case by case. So it's better to work for both to add more flexibility.

e.g: After setting the text cursor, we may need to spend some time on the waveform again to place the video cursor accurately, especially when dealing with a very fast speech plus a very noisy background)
