[Rwp] Cutting and pasting

[James Teh]

I don't think there is a way to cut a time selection as you're 
suggesting. You can remove it because it completely removes that block 
of time from the project. However, you can't cut it because I guess you 
can't paste a block of time as such. What you can do is cut the items 
within that time selection.

The reason you're cutting the entire track is because that command 
determines what to cut based on the focus. I'm guessing you had a track 
focused at the time, so it chooses to cut tracks. If you had an item 
focused, it would choose to cut items instead.

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.
