We can add your vote for labels snapping to each other.

That should not be a problem.

Please give steps 1, 2, 3... to reproduce that issue.

There was no answer to my question in such link.

Moving the label through the circle, will only move that label and not the connected ones.

You cannot move multiple labels with the mouse yet.

Drag in the label track only (not the audio track) from the left boundary of the first label to the right boundary of the last label (the yellow vertical guides will show you where to click). Then Edit > Remove Audio > Cut. Then click in the label track where you want the left boundary of the labels to go, and Edit > Paste.

Is this a problem http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 06#p201306 ?

OK thanks, that worked.

If you can use a mouse, just click in the label to select its audio and open the label for editing.

If you cannot use a mouse, DOWN arrow then TAB to the label you want. This does the same as a mouse click in the label.

(Edited the previous explanation).

The issue is that the label track should be affected by the selection on an audio track by pressing the down or up arrow(effectively choosing the label track) and pressing enter(to transfer the selection from the audio track to the label track).

It works with the mouse(by shift-clicking on the label track), it should work with the keyboard, but it does not.

When focus is on the audio track (indicated by a yellow line around the track), hold down the shift key and press the down arrow.

OK I can confirm on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux that although Return/ENTER and NUMPAD_ENTER are both supposed to toggle the focused track, from Audacity 1.3.13 onwards, Return/ENTER does not toggle Label Track selectedness unless a label is selected.

I've opened a bug report http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636 .

If you have NUMPAD_ENTER, try that instead, or after moving focus into a label track containing at least one label, use TAB then Return or ENTER twice to toggle selectedness.

SHIFT + DOWN arrow or SHIFT + UP arrow will extend the selectedness into the label track but you still won't be able to toggle selectedness of that track with Return or ENTER unless a label is selected.


Thanks
