Splitting, Ripple Delete, and Transitions for grouped tracks

[MelloBOT]

I use a two camera setup where I use the audio from both cameras, so I align both tracks and just trim the top track when I want the bottom track to show (see pics below). I have a few feature requests that might already be features that I just haven’t found yet.

1. When splitting grouped tracks, having both tracks on the left side of split still be highlighted so ripple delete is just a shortcut away.
2. When I already have the top track trimmed back, but I want to cut a section out of the bottom track, “ripple delete” should move both tracks but only moves bottom track; even when both tracks are grouped.
3. When I have top and bottom track grouped and I drag bottom track over the top of another clip to create a dissolve transition, it currently just overrides the other clip instead of making dissolve transition. Thank you!
