What modifier keys can be used along with the +/- keys to nudge the start time of a selection?

• A. Command
• B. Control
• C. Option+Shift
• D. Alt

Answer: (C)

Nudging the start edge of a selection with the keyboard is about moving the left boundary by the current nudge value. The +/- keys do the nudging, but to affect the start time specifically you add both the Option and Shift modifiers. Pressing +/- while holding Option+Shift moves the left edge of the selection forward or backward by the nudge amount, while the right edge stays put. This macOS combination is what distinguishes nudging the start point from nudging the end point. Other modifier choices don’t apply that left-edge behavior.
