Add mouse modifiers to change marker color

[teeramusic]

For example this could be ctrl+shift + left click for "previous custom color" and ctrl+shift + right click for "next custom color"

This reduces the need for keyboard shortcuts (which on my keyboard at least is already pretty full) and allows for quick and predictable color changes. Can be very useful for revisions.

Nice idea. An untapped method to speed up marker workflows. I find them rather slow to work with. There's little in the way of speeding up the colouring of markers. Some may say I just haven't found the right script yet.

I'd even go so far as to overhaul markers in the arrangement a bit, to get fast access to preset colours and marker text.

Every two-bit video editor has a marker colour pallete, so it's shown its merit.

Preset text is another. Marking scene transitions, multiple types of special sequences requiring a certain treatment, missing lines, necessary retakes, fixed stuff and a plenthora of other stuff could be sped up significantly with a pallete of text bits.

In SWS autocolour you can set a markers colour to be automatically set based on the name.
For example you can make it red if the name contains "!" or orange if it contains "?"
That's a bit like a key command (but slightly different)
