Hello again
write me exactly how to select a fragment of the path with the keyboard,
e.g. an advertisement, because I tried to cut a fragment of the file from
the middle of the file, I marked with the left and right brackets what I
want to delete and pressed it and then it said not allowed, if you want to
delete, select a fragment or all paths, so how to select this fragment

The left and right square brackets behave differently when playing and
stopped. Let’s deal with playing first.
While playing, press the left bracket ([) at the point where you want
selection to start. Play will continue. Press the right bracket at the
point where you want the selection to end. Play will continue. But when
you stop and play again just the selected section will play. If your
reflexes are quick enough to get the selection just right, press Delete.
But getting timing just right can be difficult, especially if there are
only tiny gaps in the audio. This is where using left and right brackets
while stopped becomes useful. Pressing either left or right bracket brings
up a dialog. The display will depend on your settings (adjust by pressing
the Application Key). Here I have set it to hours, minutes, seconds and
milliseconds. Arrow right and left between the hours, minutes etc. Use up
and down arrows to adjust values. This allows you to make a very precise
selection.
I am a huge fan of the Store Cursor position and Cursor to Stored Position
options under the Selection Menu. After you have mastered the brackets,
ask if you want more details of that feature.

Hi Justyna
To answer your specific situation:
Play until you reach the point from which you want to delete the rest of
the track and press x to stop. Then press shift+k to select to the end of
the track. Then press Delete.
While that works for the specific situation you described, you are right
to ask about use of left and right brackets. On this page
<https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqaMwQC-taeGmBi3PWiV3EnNPCjK?e=wxof8t> there are a
number of audio files describing the use of Audacity. The one called
audacity-navigation.mp3 is particularly relevant. If you would prefer a
text description, let us know. Another valuable resource is the Guide to

Hello,
I have a question about selecting fragments in files, for example: in a
file I want to leave only the beginning, and I want to cut the rest, and
here's the question, how after pressing the left parenthesis, mark the rest
to be cut before pressing the right parenthesis
