Hi Steve and others!

Thanks for your answers. Regarding question 4 I found out that I could select 
the decided track using the arrow keys and when the right track is selected 
press enter.
However I got another question:
If I have put the [ and ] in a spot where I want to move them a little to the 
left or right it is possible?
I can use the shift key and right and left arrow to move them a bit, but I 
can't figure out how to decrease the sellection. I was able with the shift keys 
to increase the sellection.

I tried to remap the left and right brachet keys, but Audacity wan't let me do 
this. I exported the XML file and tried to edit it there. But still no luck.
Has anyone played with the remapping key feature in version 2.01?


Another thing: In Audacity 1.3 I beleave and later it has always killed my 
screenreader. Now I do have more than one audiosource but has any of you faced 
this issue both on Windows or on the Mac and found a workaround?
I have to use two different outputs. One for my sound in Audacity and one 
output for my screenreader. It works, but I would like to use only one set of 
headphones, smiles.

Best regards
Thomas
