--> I've found a way to speed up editing operations that I do a lot in the arrange view of Ableton live. Live itself is missing key commands for many operations that i find myself doing often (eg. reversing a clip), but with an OS X app called iKey, it's possible to create your own combination commands that can be triggered by keyboard events.

I made a short vid showing what i'm up to (sorry for the horrible blurriness)


You can get iKey here (demo is free, full version is $30): link

Windows users wanting to do similar things should check autohotkey:

You can grab an export of my current iKey commands file here (unzip it, then you can import the ikex file via iKey):
