Hey everyone! I have yet another question about improving my modeling speed. Does anyone know how we can go about setting up edge cut connections like are being done at this point in the linked video:

I know it's not Blender, but I've been following this tutorial as it was posted in the 3d modeling forum. When I reached this point, I wondered if we had a tool that could make edge cuts through unorthodox edge selections like this, in an equally simple way. It seems to be done by selecting edges, then pressing some command to automatically connect them all with a very straight and symmetric way.
I know we have the subdivide, which I use all the time to make nice connections through edge rings, but it doesn't seem to work right for dong this kind of cut. Instead, the only solution I can think of is the K key, then hold down alt to get the edges straight, but sometimes that doesn't seem to work perfectly, and I have to adjust things by hand even more. I don't mind using the knife tool mind you. The knife tool in Blender seems to be lightyears better than cutting tools I've seen in any other modeling software. I was just wondering if there was any automatic way to do this which I'm missing in my workflow.
