cut tool missing from audacity 3.2.1

You don’t, sorry

Muse removed these for 3.2.1 (and onwards) as part of tidying up the GUI.

You have a few options:

  1. Right-click in the waveform to get a context menu

  2. use the Edit Menu: Edit>Cut etc.

  3. use the shortcuts
    Ctrl+C => Copy
    Ctrl+K => Delete
    Ctrl+V => Paste
    Ctrl+X => Cut (actually cut and copy)

You are not the first person to complain about these missing buttons and I suspect that you will not be the last - but Muse are fairly adamant about not bringing them back, sorry.


See this thread: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/audacity-3-2-0-please-bring-back-cut-copy-paste-buttons/65631/1
and there are other similar threads

And see this issue that I logged on GitHub but which Muse closed
Restore the Cut, Copy and Paste buttons as a new (hidden by default) toolbar #3693
