Keyboard Shortcut Issue with Audacity 2.1.1

Post by dparker » Wed Feb 07, 2018 4:09 pm

Hi there,

I used to use Audacity with Windows and JAWS and, for the most part, it worked out fine. When I switched to Mac, I downloaded the latest screen reader-accessible version of Audacity and am using it with MacOS High Sierra.

Most things work fine. However, I have consistently encountered a very annoying and frustrating issue. The typical arrow commands for rewinding and fast-forwarding the file do not work, and neither do the shortcuts with the shift added. When I turned off VoiceOver, I got the same result. I am trying to edit fairly long files where this feature would be very useful. Has anyone found a fix or a workaround for this?

Thanks,
Daniel
