Hi,
I have just installed the latest version of Audacity (2.1.1) and find that some keyboard shortcuts are not working i.e. Play one second (1), Play to Selection (B) and Play cut preview (C). I used these a lot on the old version. Any advice on how I can get these to work? I'm running Windows 7.

Re: Keyboard shortcuts
Try recording anything (no matter what and how long), then click undo or Ctrl-z.
This should make those short cuts available.
(You have to do it for every new instance of Audacity).
It's a bug that somehow crept into 2.1.1.

Re: Keyboard shortcuts
Thanks very much for that. It works for the currently open file only. If I save that file and reopen it those features are again lost. So, do I have to employ your workaround on every single file every time I open it? Or is there a more permanent solution? Any further help greatly appreciated.

Re: Keyboard playback shortcuts
The workaround is required for every new project window. You could close the old tracks and File > Import the audio instead into the same window then you would not need the workaround.Fanfare55 wrote:Thanks very much for that.

Or there are new shortcuts that do work.
- Play short period before selection start SHIFT + F5
- Play short period after selection start SHIFT + F6
- Play short period before selection end SHIFT + F7
- Play short period after selection end SHIFT + F8
- Play short period before and after selection start CTRL + SHIFT + F5
- Play short period before and after selection end CTRL + SHIFT + F7
