Editing operations in a Digital Audio Workstation like Ardour can be broken
|
|
down according to how many points on the timeline are required to carry the
|
|
operation out. Splitting a region for example, requires just one position on
|
|
the timeline—the one where the split will happen. Cutting out a time
|
|
range requires two positions, one for the start of the cut and one for the end.

|
In Ardour the <dfn>Edit Point</dfn> is the location where most single-point
|
|
editing operations take place. It can be set to any of the following:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>the <dfn>Playhead</dfn> position</li>
|
|
<li>the selected (or "active") <dfn>Marker</dfn></li>
|
|
<li>the position of the <dfn>Mouse</dfn> (or touch) pointer</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The default edit point is the location of the mouse pointer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are two keybindings available to cycle through the edit point options.
|
|
The most common workflow tends to involve switching back and forth between the
|
|
playhead and mouse as the edit point. Pressing the grave accent key <kbd>`</kbd>
|
|
switches between these two. Using <kbd class="mod1">`</kbd> cycles through
|
|
all three choices (including the selected marker). The edit point can also be
|
|
switched using the combo-selector just right of the snap/grid unit selector.
