Thanks to all for all the help. Just a note that in my experimenting I noticed that in using zoom it resulted in not arrow key click time reference as with normal but changing to distance whcih means that in zoom plus it created a finer movement with the arrow key.This allowed me to do a perfect edit of the sermon nudging right to the beginning and a nudge to the last amen. Thanks again. And, amazing. Using the newest version of audacity and NVDA. Start to finish, less than ten minutes.
