Keyboard shortcuts for switching tracks between "waveform" and "spectrogram" view

See title. This would be very helpful for me in the case of manually removing clicks and pops from audio. Spectrogram view lets me generally see where the clicks are and I could quickly switch to Waveform view to narrow down and Repair the click.

Although there is no shortcut by default, you can create a Macro to select the track view (See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/macros.html)
The commands that you need are:

Code: Select all

SetTrackVisuals:Display="Spectrogram"
and

Code: Select all

SetTrackVisuals:Display="Waveform"
You can then set keyboard shortcuts to those Macros. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/key ... ences.html
