Talk:Multi-Tool

Old page saved here for reference. JC: I'm not sure what happens about horizontal zooming on a Mac. It might not work. BW: works fine if you have a two-button mouse, and by CTRL + click. This tool is likely to change in future versions of Audacity so that SHIFT or CTRL are not needed when time shifting. Multi-Tool mode on the Tools Toolbar lets you access all five tools on this toolbar at once, depending on the location of the mouse and the keys you are holding down.
 * BW: Is the alert div above still valid? Is there any functionality missing?
 * JC: The 'alert' is still true, but doesn't need saying. We're documenting the current state not our future plans.  The original multi-tool didn't need SHIFTs and CTRLs when time shifting, and the fact it does now makes it a lot less useful.

To use Multi-Tool Mode, click the button on the Tools Toolbar or press F6 your keyboard.

Multi-Tool automatically selects one of the five tools on the Tools Toolbar in response to mouse moves and key presses. The mouse cursor changes to show which of its functions is currently available (the cursor will appear like the button for the relevant tool on the toolbar).
