"Shift times..." should accept target time, not only number of seconds shift?

Hello,

when i re-time subtitles to be in sync with audio, I discover the time when the person starts talking, lookup the subtitle line to re-time and count the start time difference between mentioned time and current subtitle time and write the difference into: "Timing" > "Shift times...".

It would make the task easier if I do not need to count the difference and instead write the target time at "Timing" > "Shift times...".

So user would have two ways to shift. "Shift by" and "Shift to". If you are doing the audio/subtitle synchronization significantly faster way, consider mentioning or linking how. Thank you

If you are doing single lines (or short passages), it might be faster to use "Timing > Shift to Current Frame" (which should be hotkeyed to Ctrl-6 by default, or accessible in the toolbar).

As far as I understand, the "Shift Times..." tool is mainly meant for shifting large chunks of the file when a specific time offset is already known (e.g. shifting subtitles from a video file with 11.521 seconds of logos at the start, to one where the logos have been removed)
