           Summary: [Feature request] Add selection of timeline by quick
                    double click of left mouse button
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kdenlive
           Version: 24.02.2
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: User Interface
          Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org

  Target Milestone: ---

So there are 2 known to me ways of timeline selection: 
1) Clicking on the leftmost field with timeline name (V1, V2, A1 etc).
2) Click with right mouse button on the timeline.
* 3) Might be hotkeys, which are not active used by me except Ctrl+R to "Slice"
clips.

The problem with first is that is counter intuitive and forces me to make extra
mouse movement to the leftmost part of screen. The problem with second is that
invokes menu by right click, which is totally normal.

So my proposal is to allow selection of timeline by double left mouse click on
the timeline itself. Also to prevent moving playhead to the clicked place in
case if there was a double click, not  a single click. Preventing playhead from
moving when it's not neccesary is another issue itself. 

This is just loud thinking and suggestion. Without handy and quick selection of
timeline the time to work on project increases dramaticaly and even much more
in larger projects (I would call large 5-10m videos, because this can be really
 time consuming and complicated to fight with UX as of current state).
