Audacity Forum

Weird:

I've been using the SHIFT + R command to record forever. This afternoon, I opened up Audacity, a screen popped up about some "keyboard command keys", I pushed okay or cancel or whatever and now I lost my ability to record via SHIFT + R... I now have to go up to "Transport" and select Record New Track... I can still do several other SHIFT + commands...

Can someone help me restore the SHIFT + R command??

Many Thanks,

I've been using the CTRL + R command to record ...

The default is ...
SHIFT + R = record
CTRL + R = repeat last effect

My SHIFT + R command has somehow become disabled and I am trying to restore that function...

Thanks,

There is a button in Audacity preferences to reset all the shortcut keys to their default-settings ...

I've never had need to use it myself though.
"keyboard command keys" is a Microsoft thing, not Audacity.

You are the GOAT... Worked like a charm!

Thank you!

There was an option to reset to "Standard" or "Full". I chose "Standard"...

Could you possibly tell me what the difference is between "Standard" and "Full"?

As long as I can record I'm good, but I suppose it would be good to know...

Thanks!
