Shift Play Mod For Goldwave

[NonWally]

An major application I'm working on at the moment requires precise editing, and I'm having to constantly change the configuration of the play buttons.

Can I suggest a mod that does not increase the number of buttons but increases their configuration. The mod is a simple detection of a shift key when a play button is clicked.

If a shift key is pressed when a play button is clicked then the play button conforms to a preset alternative configuration for that press of the button only - it would not change the configuration. The preset alternative would be the second of a logical pair.

For example, if a play button is set for "play selected", then if the shift key was detected upon click of the play button, the "unselected" portion would play.

Logical Pairs:
* Selected / Unselected
* Play all / play view

Space Bar and Shift+Space Bar and F4 and Shift+F4 sort of work that way, but only with the green and yellow modes. There are also a lot of other keyboard shortcuts for playing the file. Check out some of the "Navigation..." and "Control..." functions under Options | Keyboard.

Also you can right-click on a playback button to change its mode without going through the Control Properties window.

Chris,

I looked at spacebar etc. They only replicate the green and yellow play buttons. And I knew about the right click but that changes the configuration.

The mod I'm suggesting enables _extremely_ quick review of the selection to see (hear) if the selection needs to be modified. Without configuration or any additional stuffing about.

I'll consider it. In the mean time, you can assign the NavigationAfterStart keyboard command to an easy to use keystroke (like the + key on the numeric pad, which is close to the mouse). That will always play the selection and is even easier than shift-clicking.
