Editing and Creating Shortcuts in Audacity

One of the keys to working quickly with Audacity is shortcuts. While you can accomplish the same tasks using the menus, this approach will end up taking much longer. I think you will find that even in short projects of 30 minutes that 5-10 minutes is just navigating menus. I would like to spend that time doing other things so I have been trying to use keyboard shortcuts more often. Below you will find a way for you to assign your own shortcuts to your common tasks.

Keyboard Preferences Changing a shortcut:

  1. Click on the command in the list. The command to be changed is now highlighted.
  2. Click in to the box to left of the Set button. If a shortcut was assigned to the command previously, it will be displayed in this box.
  3. Hit the key or key combination you wish to assign to this command. Then processed to the next step.
  4. Click on the Set button to assign the chosen key or key combination to the chosen command.

Clearing a shortcut:

  1. Click on the command in the list. The command to be cleared is now highlighted.
  2. Click on the clear button to clear the command.
