Pull Timeline to Playhead

Pull all content after the playhead backward so the nearest overlay starts exactly at the playhead. Nothing before the playhead moves. Closes the gap between the playhead and the next content.

How It Works

Use when user wants to close the space/gap between the playhead and the next content. Natural phrases: "bring everything here", "pull content to here", "pull to playhead", "close the gap at the playhead", "snap content to cursor", "bring it to where I am", "remove the empty space before the next clip", "pull the timeline back to here", "bring the rest of the timeline here". No parameters — uses the current playhead position automatically. DIFFERENT from close_gaps: close_gaps removes ALL gaps everywhere and packs from frame 0. pull_to_playhead only removes the gap between the playhead and the first overlay after it, shifting everything after the playhead uniformly.
