I'm on Audacity 2.1.2 (exe, Windows 10).
I'm trying to set a shortcut for: Tracks menu > Align tracks > Start to cursor/selection start
The shortcut I'm trying to set is: [
(Also tried setting: Ctrl+Shift+S, same result.)
The dialog warns about a conflict, I hit OK.
I see the shortcut in the tree.
I close the dialog with OK.
The shortcut does not work.
Opening Preferences again, I see that the shortcut is no longer displayed.
Tried to export shortcuts, and the key is not in the XML: <command name="Align:Start to &Cursor/Selection Start" label="Start to Cursor/Selection Start" key=""/>
Edited XML and imported it – it said 4 shortcuts were imported, but not the one I wanted.
Also tried doing it in Administrator mode – no success.
Can't set shortcut

Re: Can't set shortcut
Many thanks for the report. However this has now been fixed in our source code, so will be fixed in the next release of Audacity.

Re: Can't set shortcut
I've just tested the latest development code, and what andraaspar is trying to do now works as expected.
Testing the same in Audacity 2.1.2 confirms the bug.

Re: Can't set shortcut
When 2.1.3 gets released - we've only just released 2.1.2 and no timeframe is set for 2.1.3 yet but it will be at least three months.londonpete wrote:Any idea when this will get resolved?
