<h2>Selecting regions</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Pointing at a region and single-clicking it with the Grab tool selects that
|
||||
region. Multiple regions can be selected at the same time:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd class="mouse">left</kbd>-click adds individual
|
||||
regions to the selection.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<kbd>Shift</kbd>-<kbd class="mouse">left</kbd>-click adds consecutive
|
||||
regions to the selection, Ardour considers all regions of the same track
|
||||
to the right from the currently selected track as consecutive regions.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Selection of multiple regions is always temporary and is not preserved once
|
||||
you click elsewhere or press <kbd>Esc</kbd>. To make such a selection
|
||||
permanent, create a group of regions in one of the following ways:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd></li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Use <kbd class="menu">Region > Group Selected Regions</kbd> in the main
|
||||
menu
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Use <kbd class="menu">Selected Regions > Group Selected Regions</kbd>
|
||||
in the right-click menu.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To break a group of regions back into individual regions, do one of the
|
||||
following things:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Press <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd></li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Use <kbd class="menu">Region > Ungroup Selected Regions</kbd> in the main
|
||||
menu
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Use <kbd class="menu">Selected Regions > Ungroup Selected Regions</kbd>
|
||||
in the right-click menu.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Region Operations</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Selecting a region with a single-click makes it possible to perform various
|
||||
operations on it. These operations are mostly accessible from the
|
||||
main <kbd class="menu">Region</kbd> menu on top or from the right-click menu.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Some operations like editing fade in/out are accessible with just the mouse
|
||||
pointer.
