Not being a Linux user, the following may well be completely off the
mark, especially given David's comment. I am going to make some
assumptions (often dangerous) and suggest a possible approach. Vojta or
anyone else can tell me if my ambitious suggestion will not work.
I start with the reasonably confident assumption that the left and right
brackets open the begin and end selection dialogs respectively. If
those dialogs work the same as on Windows and Mac, even though you
cannot see the values, I am wondering if it is possible to at least
enter required values. I have my times set to hours, minutes, seconds
and milliseconds but adjust according to your settings. If I want to
start a selection at 1 minute 30 seconds when the file is not playing
and is at the beginning i can:
Press left bracket
Press Home to be sure I am at the start of the time
Write 000130 and press Enter
To set the end point, repeat the process but starting with the right
bracket.
These dialogs can also be used by using up and down arrows to adjust
spin boxes. If you press left bracket and then Home, pressing up arrow
will set the start point to ten hours. In the likely event that your
file is not that long, pressing right arrow twice will then take you to
the tens of minutes column. Pressing up arrow will take you to ten minutes.
I fully appreciate that this can be a very tedious process without some
sort of feedback. It may at least be worth a try.
The other thought that just occurred to me is to work with labels, well
documented in the Manual. The Edit Labels feature in the Tracks Menu is
very useful, albeit that jumping to labels beyond the first from that
dialog is broken in 2.1.1 and logged to be fixed.

Hi Vojta,
unfortunately, the controls to set times in Audacity are not accessible on

Hi,
I would like to return to my problem with selection.
I would like to mark start and end of a selection while sound is
paused.
Is this currently possible with [ and ]? As I said, the main part of
the dialog, which appears after pressing those keys, is
inaccessible, I can see OK, Storno and some inaccessible object.
Thanks,
Vojta

Thanks Curtis. There is one area in particular where I would value feedback on
the Scrubber script. I made a late decision to use single keys to control the
Scrubber rather than keys in combination with a modifier key such as alt or
control. I think this allows faster response times. On the other hand, I have
forgotten on a few occasions to turn of scrubbing before doing tasks that
require those keys. This results in temporary bewilderment when any of a
number of bizarre things happen, followed by severe chastisement of me by me.
If people find the current approach too risky, it is easy to use a modifier key.

Hi Curtis
Audacity 2.1.1 introduced scrubbing, but it requires

describing a
script I wrote to make scrubbing screen reader
accessible. I have
copied the contents of that post below. I haven't heard
back from
anyone saying it is dreadful, but nor has anyone said that
they found it
useful (smile). I do find it useful, but have inside

Original scrubbing script post:
I am one of those people who have been pestering the
years to introduce scrubbing. When reading the release
notes for
2.1.1 my initial excitement turned to disappointment when
I realised that
a rodent is necessary to do the scrubbing.
to provideI then turned my limited coding skills to writing a script
scrubbing from the keyboard. All are welcome to try it
and to
provide feedback. There are issues though. Unlike screen
readers, that don't actually read the screen, the script
does. The
screen resolution you have set will determine whether it
will find what
it is looking for. I am more than happy to provide what
help I can
if it doesn't work for you, but can't promise to be
successful.
for WindowsThe script is written in the AutoHotKey scripting language
(sorry Mac users). To use the script you either have to
install
AutoHotKey or run the executable version of the script
(see below) .

Andrew you've done a great job.
I wonder if Audacity provides, as studio recorder does,
"scrub" the area of play back so you can audibly hear
where you
are and thereby go to an exact place by sound to
highlight and then
delete.
