I didn't know about Shift+Q. Thanks for posting this answer for the rest of us!

`Shift + Q` to extend to the playhead the clip left of the playhead. `Shift + W` to extend to the playhead the clip located right of the playhead.

<p>I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.  As an example of a common scenario, on a single video track I'll have two still images (e.g. jpg files) with some space between them.  Image1 first followed by some space and then Image2.   </p>

<p>What I'd like to do is extend the duration of Image1 so that it fills the space and ends where Image2 begins.</p>

<p>Before:</p>

<pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>+--------------------------------------------------------+
   +---------------+             +-------------------+    
   | Image 1       |             | Image 2           |    
   |               |             |                   |    
   +---------------+             +-------------------+    
+--------------------------------------------------------+
</code></pre>

<p>After:
</p>

<pre><code>+--------------------------------------------------------+
   +---------------------------+ +-------------------+    
   | Image 1                   | | Image 2           |    
   |                           | |                   |    
   +---------------------------+ +-------------------+    
+--------------------------------------------------------+
</code></pre>

<p>Obviously I can do this with the mouse and drag the edge of Image1 over to Image2.  However is there a keyboard shortcut that will automatically do this?  </p>

As happens, the act of asking a questions leads me to the answer faster. I can do this with a combination of two shortcuts:

1. `Down Arrow` (Go to Next Edit Point)
2. `Shift + Q` (Extend Previous Edit To Playhead)

(Still be interested if there's a way to do this with a single shortcut)

Here's how I do it:

1. Put the still image on the track as usual.
2. Click the end of the region, so it turns red.
