Splitting strips without selecting the strip
There is no current way to split strips without selecting the strip you want to split. This is very confusing coming from any NLEs. Ideally it should also split all other strips along the current frame unless its locked.

Update: I have found a hacky way to do it with ChatGPT.
Then go to your preferences and add a shortcut with the identifier "sequencer.smart_split " and then Save Preferences.
This is the expected behavior I want but without doing all this setup.
Select the Blade tool in the toolbar:
Then click anywhere on any strip:
This workflow completely different from what I am proposing. All NLEs have allowed you to split all strips on the current frame without selecting every strip.
Then maybe you should rephrase your feature proposal. Because the tool I showed corresponds 100% to your proposal title and, even in the body text: only the last sentence reveals a nuance, but still phrased as an ideal instead of a hard requirement ;)
The best way to maximize your chances of seeing your proposal into development is to make it as clear and comprehensive as possible, so that any dev passing by can see and understand what it's all about and assess its feasibility with no need for extra back and forth.
If the first reaction of a reader is "we already have all the parts that matters" when it's not your intention, the proposal is missing its point.
