Hi Gale!
Thanks for the link. However I do not find old podcasts in there regarding
basic stuff about Audacity.
I will look at this deeper tomorow, but I find the page a bit confusing when
looking at it for the first time.
To everyone: Thanks so much for your answers. I will try to change the keys
later so this is not an issue here anymore.
Best regards
Thomas
