Description
Problem
Timeline clips currently do not support Shift-click range selection within the same row.
Expected workflow:
- Click the first clip in a row
- Hold Shift
- Click another clip in the same row
- All clips between them are selected
Solution
Add Shift-click range selection for timeline clips on the same row.
The behavior should:
- Use the first clicked clip as the range anchor
- On Shift-click, select every clip between the anchor and target clip in that same row
- Preserve the existing Ctrl/Cmd-click toggle selection behavior
I have a small implementation
Alternative
The current alternatives are Ctrl/Cmd-clicking each clip individually.
Anything else?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the implementation linked in pull request #800 and the existing timeline clip selection behavior. Verify that a first clip anchors a same-row Shift-click range, every intervening clip is selected, and existing Ctrl/Cmd-click toggling remains unchanged.
