I do a lot of repetitive tasks in audio editing, and so I have an Autohotkey script set to Alt+Q to which inputs E (Next Clip) twice, then presses Q (Amplify), Tabs twice to get to the number field, enters -12, then stops. The skip ahead two clips part is not working because Audacity has suddenly started sometimes ignoring one of the two E keypresses, about 50% of the time.
In testing I’ve confirmed it’s not anything wrong with my script, as it’s consistently sending the E key in notepad and other apps, but in Audacity when I just manually press the E key, it will sometimes ignore my input.
For testing, below is my Autohotkey V2 script for you to test (you’ll need to paste it into a notepad, save this as an AHK file, and run it with AHK v2 installed) then select a clip, and press Alt+Q. It should, and has been previously, skip two clips ahead, then do the amplify I mentioned before. I’m on Audacity v3.7.3
UPDATE: I noticed it seems to happen specifically when the last thing I did was Amplify something, though again it’s still inconsistent.
