Default shortcuts for selecting audio clips

I know that you can use the p and ; to move your selection up and down vertically, but is there a shortcut to move the section to the next clip horizontally?
I am editing some percussion parts that I have sliced up at the transients and it would allow me to work much faster

The Tab key(assuming Tab to Transient is OFF) will advance to the next clip edge(end of the clip the cursor is in, then Start of next clip)

Thanks for the response. I know that you can use the tab to go to the next clip but I want to select that clip without having to use the mouse.

Tab key, then shift-tab key. Assuming the clip contains no sync point, else it would be tab key then shift-tab key twice.

Ctrl-Tab (Mac) will select the next clip. If there is a fade, it will only select the fade. Ctrl-Shift-Tab should then select the rest of the clip. You might need to Ctrl-Shift-Tab a few times if there is a fade at top and tail.
