Greetings, I have now solved the problem. Now ctrl+f9 records selection, both when opening a new file via ctrl+n or inserting within an existing file. I entered each program and saved the keyboard via alt+o then k, closed the program, edited the keyboard file and reopened GoldWave and reloaded the keyboard and saved the keyboard. On checking, discovered the amendment was present so tried it out, it worked.
