I'd either use "Export Selected Audio" and export each selected part as a separate WAV file, or I'd label the parts that I want, then use "Export Multiple" and create a series of WAV files. I don't see any advantage in saving them as Audacity projects as you can just as easily op...

And it limits the size available for temporary data, which can be huge for large projects.

My home directory is in /. So is that: /home/<your-user-name> How do I find out whether Audacity is able to write to /var/tmp? /var/tmp is the default location for Audacity's temporary folder. Running Audacity should create a folder: /var/tmp/audacity-<your-user-name> Audacity must be able to creat...

It sounds to me like an extreme version of this problem: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#skips Unfortunately there is not a "quick fix" because there may be several contributing factors. The way to approach solving the problem is to methodically work...

I'm currently using ~/.audacity-files/Plug-Ins for Nyquist plugins and ~/.audacity-data/Plug-Ins for LV2 plugins (which I find convenient as I have a lot...

I think we make a pretty good attempt. There are not many things in Audacity that can't be done entirely from a keyboard, though yes there will always be some things that are less easy without a mouse or other pointing device.

1. In Audacity 2.0.6, you could start an instance of the program by just running "audacity.exe" or a shortcut. Now, you can only open a new window using the menu of the already opened instance. If you run a shortcut or the program itself while you have one instance, it won't open a new wi...

The label context menu is such a thing. You mean that the label context menu is not accessible for VI users? Of course accessibility has always been an important issue in Audacity and Audacity should be just as usable for non-mouse users as for mouse users. It would be helpful if there were a short...
