[Rwp] Cutting and pasting

[onlineeagle]

OK, so I’m practising with Reaper. I’ve managed to make a selection using al shift and left/right bracket, then press the delete key to delete that selection. And it works perfectly. But I can’t get the same result with cutting. I assumed I’d have to make my selection, then press control X to cut, then control V to paste, but it doesn’t work. Pressing F12 to run the Osara keyboard shortcut help seems to indicate that control X doesn’t do anything, but rather Control Shift X is what you do to cut. Trying this means that Reaper assumes I want to move the entire track, rather than merely removing the selected portion of audio. So then I went to the edit menu, and saw the option, cut items/tracks/envelope points within time selection. It didn’t seem to have a keyboard shortcut attributed to it that I could find, so I activated that option directly from the edit menu. But again, it got rid of the entire track. What am I missing? Thanks.
