NEW FEATURE: Scrubbing
Scrubbing works only in Select and Multi tools.
- Middle-click-drag to scrub, or to seek when shift is down.
- Control wheel to vary the speed limit, while scrubbing (not seeking).
- Middle-double-click-drag to scrub or (with SHIFT down) to seek while keeping the playhead at the midline of the track display.
- Speed of play and direction of play is controlled by dragging left/right from the center of waveform display
- The transcription toolbar determines the scrubbing speed limit each time you start scrubbing, so you will need to move it from the default x1 speed.
Also notice changes to status bar messages and the Mouse Preferences dialog.
- There is an intention to change middle-drag to ctrl-(double-)click. Using the middle (wheel) button for it works well for some mice and hands, but enough people had problems with it that the changed binding is thought to be better.
