Look on the internet for where on your computer bios you disable the need of pressing the fn keys then find some one to help you with the setup.


Believe me asking some one for help might be uncomfortable but it pays off for not having to press the fn key every time.

Hi,


This is just a more convenient (to me anyway) way of accessing the Shift+f5-f8 and CTRL+Shift+F5-F8 previewing keys.  (My Lenovo laptop requires that I press the FN key between left CTRL and WIN keys to access function keys.  That makes keys that were easy to access without hands positioned on the keyboard rather clumsy.)  I often find it helpful for setting the ends of a selection, but it's not the same as looping on a selection.

Hi Matt,
as Andrew has already said, this is unfortunately not possible using audacity. However, if you use Jaws and the Jaws script for audacity, then the following functionality is available. This is an excerpt from the readme for the script:

"You can configure the script to play audio after cursor motion commands. There are two options of interest in Quick Settings for this. Announce Position controls whether or not cursor positions are spoken with cursor motion commands. If Preview Motion is on, a Preview command (|Shift+F6| for the start position and |Shift+F7| for the end position) is executed following the cursor key. This allows you to hear a portion of audio at the start or end of the selection."

    Hi folks.

    Is it possible to have a selection between the left, and right
    brackets to loop?

    So then while Its looping, you could nudg the left/right ends,
    and hear what its dooing?

    Kind of like goldwave.
