  rename play cursor into playhead

  Add move-play-cursor-to-selection-start/end actions Implements the curs-sel-start / curs-sel-end actions, which existed as unbound placeholders in shortcuts.xml with no handler. Both move the play position to an edge of the time selection and scroll it into view, and are no-ops when there is no time selection. Unlike the stepping actions, and unlike au3's CursSelStart/CursSelEnd which collapse the selection to the cursor, these leave the selection intact — moving the playhead and changing the selection are separate concerns. No default shortcut, matching au3 where both ship unbound; the actions are registered as UiActions so users can bind them in preferences.

  Snap the seek time recorded on click during playback seekToTime returns early when playing, before snapTime runs, so the position bookmarked for the eventual stop was stored raw while a click made when not playing lands on the snapped boundary. Clicking near a clip edge during playback then resumed slightly off that edge. Snap it explicitly at the call site. Covers both clip-boundary and grid snapping.

  Never update playhead or next playback start on drag selection Dragging a selection — whether by dragging out a new range, extending one with Ctrl/Shift, or dragging a selection edge handle — left two paths that still repositioned the playhead and the next playback start: the unconditional playback-region update on release (which sets lastPlaybackSeekTime to the region start) and the seekToX emitted when a selection resize completes. Both are gone. The release path now updates playback position state only when the gesture was a plain click, and the seekToX plumbing is removed entirely since resizing a selection was its only caller. Nothing is lost by not setting the region eagerly: doPlay derives its region from the live data selection when playback starts.

  Format TracksItemsView.qml with qmlformat

  Suppress playhead move on mousedown in track area Pressing in the track area no longer seeks immediately. The press begins a deferred seek gesture; the playhead moves on release, and only when the gesture stayed a plain click. Dragging a clip or a selection never moves the playhead, so the viewport no longer jumps mid-drag and playback is left alone. The release-time isLeftSelection seek is gone with it: it existed only to patch up the eager mousedown seek after a leftwards selection drag.

• Paul MARTIN (19 Jul 26)

  Add deferred seek gesture to PlayCursorController A press in the track area must not move the playhead immediately: the target is remembered on press and the seek is dispatched on release, and only when the gesture stayed a plain click. Dragging past the threshold (in either axis) or cancelling the gesture suppresses the seek entirely. While playing, a click records the seek position for stop without moving the playhead.

  change shortcut to align with Au3

• Paul MARTIN (28 Jul 26)

  continue from the playhead after a played selection ends Playing a selection leaves the playhead at the region end (mid-project) with the player's playback region still set to that selection. The stopped-branch treated "playhead at end of playback region" the same as "end of project" and seeked to 0, so the next play jumped back to the start. Only restart from 0 at the actual project end; at the end of a played selection/region, re-anchor to the playhead so the next play resumes from where it left off.

  stop swapping toolbar actions and tidy PlaybackToolBarModel The play and stop buttons now keep a single action and only vary their icon; PlaybackController decides what the action means while recording. Swapping the action code hid items from AbstractToolBarModel::onActionsStateChanges (which looks them up by action code) and left shortcut tooltips stale, so both items are now found by action code like every other control and the synthetic ids are gone. During lead-in the paused pre-roll shows the play glyph. Also folds the repeated theme lookups into themeColor(), factors the identical view-state toggles into updateToggleState(), and drops dead members.

  handle the recording cases in PlaybackController The stop and play/pause actions now decide for themselves whether they act on the player or the recorder: while recording, stop dispatches record/stop and the play/pause button dispatches record/pause. During the record lead-in the pre-roll is driven by the record stream (the player is not Running), so the button toggles that stream directly. isPlaying() now reports false whenever recording, matching the normal record path where the player stays stopped; otherwise resuming a lead-in left the player "running" and disabled the record button mid-recording.

  split play into toggle-play-pause/stop/from-cursor Replaces the single action://playback/play (which read Qt::keyboardModifiers() at runtime to branch on Shift) with three intent-named actions bound in shortcuts.xml: toggle-play-pause (toolbar button), toggle-play-stop (Space) and toggle-play-from-cursor (Shift+Space). They share one togglePlay(TogglePlayMode) helper; the modifier now lives in the shortcut, so the application inject and the runtime keyboardModifiers() check are gone. Sits on top of #11491: keeps play-selection and doPlay(clearPlaybackRegion), so the default play ignores the time selection and play-selection plays it.
