Need Help: move the start of a clip on a marker

Need Help: The simplest method (with keyboard shortcuts to focus) to move the start of a clip on a marker?

Do you mean move the head of the Clip to a Marker?

If so, quickest way I know is to be In Grid Mode and change the Grid to Clips and Markers. The just move the head of the Clip to the Marker and it will soft snap to the Marker.

There are other ways, such as Tabbing to the Marker in the Marker Line, using the ";" key to move the Cursor down to the Track the Clip is in and then, in Slip Mode, Start(Win)/Control(Mac)+Click on the Clip to move its head to the Cursor.

Just that! Thank you very much. But why we do not see this information in the shorcuts?

The Start/Control+Click shortcut to the Cursor location should be there, but using the Marker too is multi-step, not a single shortcut.

It is called "Snap Clip start to stationary playhead or Edit selection start" , p.16 in the Shortcuts Guide.
Another way : deselect "Link Track and Edit Selection" , select the marker, select the Clip, hit "H" (or "J" for Sync Point or "K" for end of clip to marker).

You're right, I see it now. Thank you. The other shortcuts goes also. Essential.

I have another question: why sometimes if I group 2 audio tracks and a midi track and if I want to move clips (therefore grouped) with the mouse and the grabber, the midi clip does not follow in movement (if I take all the audio clip - if I take part by the midi clip, it works). Other times for other groups, there is not this feature and all is set, regardless of the clip used to take the group. I checked the possible differences between the grouping options for the tracks and everything is configured similarly. I do not know if I'm clear, English is not my language.
