Hi,
When editing audios or lectures, many times its desirable to CUT short segments, like when the speaker coughs or stutters. I see in the HELP section a Play Cut Preview with shortcut C. This would be GREAT and would eliminate trial-and-error selecting, Z (zero-crossing), cutting and test playing.
Though the Shortcut C does nothing, no preview, etc. It could be too early in the morning, so please excuse being dense.

Re: Play Cut Preview (what am I missing?)
If you are using the current 2.1.1, the special playback commands do not work, due to a bug.
As a workaround, each time you open a new project window, press Record then Stop. You can close the recorded track afterwards.
