Bug Description

There doesn't seem to be any way to "squeeze" together a series of audio clips that are separated by spaces.

1. For example, if I drag and drop a bunch of clips (labeled A, B, C, and D of differing length) into Jokosher, they will probably end up with blank spaces between them, like this:

AAA BBBBB CC DDDDDDD

because of the imprecision of dragging and dropping.

I should be able to click a button to "squeeze" (or "slam together") all these clips in one easy go to save myself the tedious task of dragging clip B to the left to bump against A, clip C to bump against B, etc.

The final product should look like this:

AAABBBBBCCDDDDDDD

after clicking this magic button.

2. Also, there should at least be a way to slam together two audio clips via a context menu when I right click between two clips. So if I import clip B and notice that there is space between clip A and B, like the following:

AAA BBBBBBB

...then I should be able to right click in the space between clip A and B to reveal a context menu option like "join flanking clips". The end product would be the following:

AAABBBBBBB
