Hi Rich, If no time range is selected, then if you start playback, press p, and then left bracket, then spacebar, then the cursor is moved to where you pressed left bracket, and if you paste it will insert the audio at the cursor. However, if a time range is selected, then if you start playback and so on, then the time range is modified so it now starts where you pressed the left bracket. So if you then paste, it replaces the selected audio, rather than inserting it. So as long as a time range isn't selected before you start playback, you'll be ok. Had you pressed ctrl+a to select everything? If a time range is selected , you can deselect it by pressing any key that moves the cursor, that is, home, end, j, k, right and left arrows.

You press p for pause and left square bracket then space bar. It appears that if I paste at that point it overwrites all subsequent audio. How do I paste without overwriting subsequent audio. I know you can press j and then the left square bracket and then enter a time, but can it be done at the pause point without those additional steps of entering a time? -- Rich De Steno The audacity4blind web site is at //www.freelists.org/webpage/audacity4blind Subscribe and unsubscribe information, message archives, Audacity keyboard commands, and more...
