  • Right-click clip in video sequencer to select
  • Left-click in video sequencer to place green playback cursor
  • g to move selected clip
  • Shift+s to move video to cursor
  • k cut video

Node Editor

  • Check Use Nodes and Backdrop on the bottom bar
  • Ctrl+g to group (Alt+g to ungroup)
  • Press tab to switch between group and non-group context
  • Add a Viewer node to preview something on the backdrop
  • Press v/Alt+v to zoom in and out of the backdrop
