Dragging in the Audio Editor and Audio Montage Window
You can perform different operations depending on where you drag in the Audio Editor or Montage window.
To insert an audio file in another audio file, drag the title bar of the file onto the waveform of another file. You can also drag an audio file from the File Browser window, the File Explorer/macOS Finder, or from another application into the Audio Editor.
To move a marker, drag it to another position on the time ruler.
To create a copy of a marker, press Shift, and drag it to another position on the time ruler.
To delete a marker, drag it upwards outside the time ruler.
To copy an audio selection, drag a selected region of audio onto the waveform area of the same file or another file.
To change the extent of a selection range, position the edit cursor at the start/end of the selection range, and drag to the left or right.
To move the edit cursor without losing the current selection, and to snap it to an anchor, press Shift, and move the mouse near the audio file/montage cursor. The mouse cursor shape changes and you can drag the cursor left and right.
To move the edit cursor without changing or losing the current selection, press Shift, click the edit cursor, and drag it to another position.
To scroll the waveform horizontally, click the bar above the time ruler and drag left or right. You can also click anywhere on the waveform using the 3rd mouse button, and drag left or right.
To create a generic marker from a selected text, drop the text that you have selected in an external application onto the time ruler. The text becomes the marker name.
To create a stereo copy of a mono file, or a mixed copy of a stereo file, drag a tab to another position of the tab bar, press Ctrl-Alt (Windows) or Ctrl-Opt (Mac), and release the mouse button.
