<p>I'm trying to automate away the mouse (using Autohotkey) during the editing process. All regular edits are now keyboard-only except the J-Cut. Basically I want to fill the video gap in the following example:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/kDKnW.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/kDKnW.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>I can easily do it with the mouse by extending the duration of the video on the left:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/qMfvE.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/qMfvE.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>How can I do this with just the keyboard (and help of Autohotkey if needed)?</p>

I can easily do it with the mouse by extending the duration of the video on the left:
