Is there a way of simple trimming the front and end of clips instead of dragging with a mouse. In an ideal world I'd like to be able to select/highlight a clip, then have a shortcut function to trim the in and out points of the clip similar in the way that the 'nudge clip' function works.

We wrote a Macro to do just what you said.
1. Place play head where you would like the clip trimed to.
"macro"
1. Split clip
2. jump to head of previos clip
3. select clip under play head
4. delete
5. Jump to head of next clip
That is the basic macro for this. We also wrote one for the tail. we are old failrlight users so top and tail was easy for us, but once this macro was written it is now as fast as the Fairlight was in regards to topping and tailing clips.
Good Luck,

Cheers guys for the reply but I think I may not have explained myself properly.
I don't actually want to move the position of the clip in the time line, but maintain its sync position, and move the in and out points of the clip, so effectively coming in or out of the clip earlier or later.
Ideally I'd like to do this just by clicking on the clip to highlight it, and trimming the start and end points with a simple trim front and trim end function.........regardless of where the play head/cursor is on the time line.
