Commands

Commands are issued by you, the user of Komposition, to navigate and modify, the timeline and other views of the application. The following table lists some of the central commands you can issue, and their key bindings. Most commands can also be issued by using the top-level menu bar.

Command	Mode	Key Binding	Description
Help	All	?	Display key bindings help in the current mode

Key Sequences

To add clips and gaps, there are key sequence bindings available. To add after, you generally start by pressing A and then a key for the type of clip or gap you want to add. To add before, start with the a key. Clips are specified with the c key, and gaps with the g key.

When a video or audio track, or anything within a track is focused, you press two keys:

1. insert after (a) or insert before (A)
2. clip (c) or gap (g)

When a parallel is focused, you need to also specify if it's the video track or audio track you want to add before or append to. The full key sequence then consists of three keys:

1. insert before (A) or insert after (a)
2. video (v) or audio track (a)
3. clip (c) or gap (g)

There are variations for adding at the leftmost position, and at the rightmost position, but those are currently only available in the menu bar. And again, all key sequences are not listed in this document. Press ? in Komposition to see the full listing.
