Clip Selection Behavior
The following lists the various behaviors for a selected clip depending on different modifier keys.

No Modifier Key
With no key modifier, the clip can be manipulated in standard Edit Mode.
CTRL Key Modifier (Auto Crossfade Mode)
While a clip is selected, pressing and holding the CTRL key before clicking and dragging automatically
creates a cross-fade when the clip is moved to overlap any adjacent clip. The mouse cursor changes to
a hand with an X over it to indicate Auto Crossfade Mode is engaged. While in Auto-Crossfade Mode
selected clips can only be moved in time, not to other Tracks.
