Since this was placed in the future board, I might as well formulate those drawbacks into suggestions for improvement:
1- ‘Insert’ should use the desired snap value, as long as the inserted event won’t overlap with the previous one. If snap’s disabled it should work the way it does right now.
2- It should work with multiple selected events, even across multiple tracks. Just imagine – you could create a whole house track in under a minute! 😆 (j/k)
By the way, what’s the difference between ‘insert event’ and ‘paste event’ in the edit menu?
