Bret,
I agree a lot of that stuff is useful, and I miss it in Premiere 6, but a few of the things you listed are actually there:
– Snapping razor tool (the visualization of it could be better)
– Linked selection (though you can’t toggle it globally, which is a pain – I just leave it on and hold Option when I need to toggle it off)
– Paste attributes (though with less granularity than FCP7)
– Copy of a range – there’s a way to do this using lift ( ; ), which puts the range from In to Out on the clipboard, and undo, which heals the extraction, but leaves the copied range on the clipboard. It’s pretty easy.
– Marker duration
– Switch between video and audio waveforms in source monitor – you need to set up keys for this
– Toggle audio scrubbing on/off – you need to set up a key for this as well
