Hi listers.
a little suggestion.
With Mac, is hard to use brackets to select a portion of a track.
So I do:
Instead of brackets, I set two shortcuts, "s" to start and "f" to the end.
You can set ones you want, but choose keys to press with your left hand.
So, with the right hand you can run along the track with arrows, and, when you
find the point you wish, with the left hand you can quickly press the start or
end point of the block you want to work.
Have a good music

Here is some further information after today's further checking. Apologies
for the ramblings - should have finished investigations before posting
yesterday.
Thanks David. I think I knew once about the lack of reporting, but a while
since I have used Audacity on the Mac.
I made a breakthrough today. Having pressed one of the brackets, pressing
Home fixes the issue I noted yesterday of not knowing where the cursor had
landed. The following example assumes you are as fussy as me and have set to
hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds, but adjust according to your setup.
Let's assume you want to set the cursor at 3 minutes, seven seconds and 351
milliseconds.
1. Press left bracket ([)
2. Press Home (on the Macbook Air Function-shift-Command-left does the job)
3. Write 000307351 and press Enter
You will be placed back on the audio track. As David said, VoiceOver
commands can be used to read the value before you press Enter. That becomes
important if you want to make very small adjustments, as you will need to
know current settings before making an adjustment.
Having selected some audio, there is another way of adjusting beginning and
end points. I don't use it much because it is not as precise, but there are
times where it is effective. The following are the Mac commands. For
Windows substitute Control for Command:
Shift-left: Extend left edge of selection
Shift-right: Extend right edge of selection
Shift-Command-right: Contract left edge of selection
Shift-Command-left: Contract right edge of selection
It sort of makes mnemonic sense. Note that the amount by which you extend or
contract will depend on zoom level. That is why I prefer to use the numbers,
but each to his/her own.
