Hmmm. Not sure if there is a new version of Audacity which lets you delete audio in the manner you describe. If you want to delete everything to the right of the current cursor position, press shift K and then delete. Pressing shift J selects everything from the beginning up to the cursor position.


Before you start editing a track, it's always worthwhile to move the cursor at least once with the left or right arrows since sometimes a selection will not be made until you have done this. Also, make sure that the track you want to edit is selected. If your screen reader does not report that the track is selected, then press Enter to select it. You can then continue editing the track. Unselect by pressing Enter on the same track.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I am so unbelievably frustrated! I have red the manual, followed the
instructions, but no joy. All I am trying to do is edit a track. I
play it, pause it, hit "(" and then "Del" in the hope everything on
the right of the bracket will disappear.. it doesn't, nothing happens.
Please, please show mercy and somebody help me before my laptop learns
to fluy!

Thanks,

BJ
