I might be confused, but, I would just use something like home to set
cursor position/selection to beginning of track, then shift + end to
select to end of track, and, then use [ to bring up the start of
selection dialogue, set it to 100 milliseconds, and then use delete key
to wipe out that part?
Stay well

Hi, although I have extensive experience with Audacity, this issue is vexing me:
I record a very short track, maybe one second
I want to shorten it to let's say 100 milliseconds
I press the left square bracket for the time-set interface and set the time to 100 milliseconds, and press OK
I assume now that the cursor is at the 100 milliseconds point
I make sure the track is selected
I press Shift k to select from the 100-millisecond cursor point to the end
I press the delete key
The track does not get shortened, it is the same full length
What am I doing wrong here and how do I shorten the track to 100 milliseconds?
