Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - Is there an alternative to 'delete and close gap?'

Question

There are two scenes on the same track (not sure if they're called scenes, just not sure what else to call them), I want to put them right next to each other on the timeline, with no gap in between. If I use delete and close gap, everything in front of these two scenes will move as well. I don't want everything else to move, I only want to move the lone scene next to another scene. If I just try to drag it next to it, it'll either slice the scene in half if I don't drag it 100% perfectly next to it, or there will be a single frame of black space on the video. The only way I can successfully do this is if I zoom in and pain stakingly drag them precisely next to each other. Is there some way I can use something like 'delete and close gap' without making all the other tracks move as well? I think it might've been like ripple delete back in the older versions of Premiere if I remember correctly.

Whenever you are adding clips to the Timeline, try holding down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard to avoid disturbing the existing Timeline content including splitting of audio.
Have you tried right clicking the Timeline file for deletion and selecting "Delete" instead of "Delete and Close Gap" and then use the Alt modifier as you drag the clip(s) around with the mouse cursor?
Please give all that a look and let us know the outcome? But that Alt Key maneuver should work for you as it has for many others.
Thanks.
