    No perfectly understandable i think i did not clarify what i meant to say. I dont want to use the trackpad because its an extra that i don’t need to carry around. I move from station to station. When i work with clients sometimes i work on their station other times i work on mine at their studio. So that means sometimes they have wireless keyboards other times they have wired keyboards. I don’t want to carry around a trackpad everywhere I go… plus a trackpad on a wire long keyooard would require me to move my hand almost identical distance as to reach a mouse.

    I do find it easier to edit on my macbook because of the trackpad placement…. but editing on macbook keyboard is not the most comfortable heat. hard edge strain….

    I am in a simple solution to selecting connected clips with the keyboard so that I don’t have to move my hand off the keyboard. I find I can do quick a lot without a mouse. I actually did not mention this but I dont even use a mouse i use a waoom tablet. Reason for the wacom is I do lots of graphics, photoshop and after effects and prefer it over a mouse. I did find a cool plugin “Final Cat Pro” that I think is headed in the right direction but not quite what I am looking for.

    Thanks for all suggestions. I will keep looking for a solution or await one form Apple.
