How to Trim a clip without effecting connected clips?

This is what i'm faced with right now. i want to trim that clip to adjust where in the video i start and end in that clip, without changing it's length. which is what the trim tool is for. and it works on the clip above it as well.

however, since the clip on the bottom has some connected clips, when i trim the video, it moves the connected clips.

is there a way around this so that i can trim my clip, and the connected clips stay connected in place?

Yes, quite easy as of 10.0.6. Hold the Tilde key while trimming. It is also known as the Grave key. The symbols key right above the Tab key on a US English keyboard.
