Slau, Thank you!
I'd seen murmurs of that work-around in my web travels over the last few days but this was the only thing I hadn't tried yet! :) Go figure! Thanks for confirming this one! If there's a keyboard shortcut for the select-all command it seems like a no-brainer to have a deselect-all or invert selection command as well… Well a girl can dream! :) Thanks, C :) On Jul 8, 2013, at 4:29 AM, Slau Halatyn <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Cara, There used to be a keyboard shortcut for deselecting the bottommost track. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work anymore. As a work-around, create a new track. It'll appear at the bottom of the list and will automatically be selected. What I mean is that the new track will be selected and that will deselect all other tracks. Then use the Control-p or semicolon command to move track selection back up or down to get to the track you wish to select.
