Hi Robin,

In my notes below, my instructions about saving to a .txt file did not work as I wrote, so you can ignore that part. The rest is valid, and there is only one attachment to this post, keys.xml. Hope this is helpful. David

I've attached two files to this post, keys.xml and keys.txt, the
first being how Audacity saves keyboard commands to a file you
specify. keys.txt is how my Windows browser converted the xml file
and saved it as a text file.

Item #1 below is how to save the Audacity keyboard commands to an
xml file, with brief notes about how I converted the xml file to a
plain text file with no xml markings.

Item #2 below is how to examine the keyboard commands one at a time
in Audacity without saving to a file.

1. open preferences - control+p
cursor to 'keyboard'
tab to 'save'
press enter
enter filename such as

c:\myfiles\keys

tab to 'save' button
press enter
press escape to exit preferences

Your file will be saved as keys.xml in the folder you specified,
which (after you have exited Audacity) you can examine with your
browser or in a plain text editor.

My version of Audacity 1.3.3 beta is an August 5 release, you
probably have an older version, so I'm not sure how or whether the
attached keys.xml or keys.txt are the same as your friend's version
of Audacity (keys.txt is the keys.xml file saved as a .txt file
using my browser)

2. To examine single keyboard commands

open preferences - control+p
cursor to 'keyboard'
tab to 'key bindings'
use up and down arrows to examine individual key command
combinations

Press escape to exit preferences

David

HI Gang,

I just installed a copy of the Audacity Beta for a friend who is a JAWS user.

Currently, he will just be making timer recordings and exporting them to MP3.  
I have set up the program for him and creaed a folder which he can access from 
the desktop to play/move his files.

I have read the Wiki online and didn't see any keyboard shortcuts which would 
make the Record/Export process any easier.

Can anyone offer any tips?

Thanks,
Robin
