[Rwp] Copying Multiple Items on Multiple Tracks

[Chris Belle]

Except you can't use shift s to split with no time selection and you 
can't use the same begin and end time selection, you can't have a time 
selection of 0.
so I used the shift A
select items
under edit cursor on selected tracks
and then i could use s and get a split across tracks in the same place.
Crazy baby, crazy.
