Selection Tool
Edit Selection Tool
Transitions
Razor Blade Tool
Roll Tool

I love helping people with homework! :
Batch Capture – capture clips as a batch
Scratch Disc – location of the capture scratch folder
Splice Tool – splices an edit
Insert Edit – inserts an edit
Overwrite Edit – overwrites an edit
Selection Tool – selects stuff
Edit Selection Tool – selects your edits
Transitions – transition between clips
Razor Blade Tool – cuts stuff with razor blade icon
Roll Tool – rolls edits longer
Pen Tool – draws stuff
Audio Scrubbing – cleans audio
Match Frame – matches the current frame you’re on
Snapping – makes play head snappy
Render. – a pain in the $#*(Hope that helps!

I don’t really follow what you need. The tools are well explained in the User Manual. They’re also pretty self explanatory to any editor. The name of the tool IS the definition of what it does.

The URL didn’t link correctly. Go here and search for glossary.
Did I mention I hate this user manual page?
All the best,
