When I want to edit multiple clips on my MPC One I have to switch between Grid edit and the main screen or the clip matrix to select another clip which can be pretty time consuming.
Is it possible to go to the next clip while you stay in grid edit or clip edit mode?

Unfortunately no. You can only change clips in the Main view (for the current track) or in the Clip Matrix view, which is BAD. I'm the only one complaining about that short coming once again, the community doesn't care about that obvious issue. I should be allowed to change clips in the track mixers if I want (on Gen1) but I can't but nobody is bothered by that limitation?

Mostly Force users see how limited & clunky the Clip-matrix is on the MPC. Clips is still a big step up but the Force pads, screen, Qlinks screen & 8 function buttons can all be doing different things. The 64 pads be divided to be a step-seq, drum pads & a clip launcher or 16 Level of volume.

The MPC 16 drum pads is limited & the 16 step/function buttons are just a way to compensate. The MPC still can't copy/paste/delete clips from the pads. It can only use the slow windows menu.

I think the hacked OS can connect to ext gear. Someone here will know.

But to change clips you should be able to it if the pads are into clip launching mode, if that's available on the one, I know it is on g2 mpcs & the Force can do it.
