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.
- The scrubbing position on completion can be marked with a left-click mouse gesture (moves the cursor to that position)
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.
