>> Okay I think I know what’s going on here.

>> very friendly to navigate at this time, when I just checked, so therefor I

>> get to.
>> 1. Go to Preferences
>> 2. FInd in the tabel the item Keyboard.
>> 3. Find the button called Export.
>> 4. Save it as you do with other documents on your Mac, and then close 
>> Audacity.
>> 5. Open it in Textedit.
>> 6. Edit the following two lines:
>> Left at playback position
>> and:
>> Right at playback position.
>> There should be quotes around the bracket keys. DO NOT DELETE THOSE! Only 
>> delete the left and right bracket signs and replace them with g for left, 
>> and h for right.
>> NOTE: You may have to use capitals letters for Audacity to get the hotkeys 
>> right. That was actually what I discovered after having this issue for 
>> YEARS, and I mean years literally!
>> 7. Save your file and close Textedit.
>> 8. Reopen Audacity, open preferences and find the keyboard section again.
>> 9. FInd the “Import” button,and navigate to your file.
>> 10. Choose to import it, and when you’re done select OK within the 
>> preferences of Audacity.
>> 
>> That should do the trick.
>> If you want, I can send my XML-document with the changed keys to you of 
>> list. I only changed these two keys, nothing else is changed.
