If I left-click in the Play-at-Speed slider (or other sliders) and use left/right arrows, nothing happens. I may still nag about that when I'm feeling bold, as I'm not sure I'm convinced, and I don't think right-click is very discoverable given we hardly use it in Audacity. Can we focus the gain and pan sliders too with right-click, if we decide that's the solution? Anyway, if I right-click Play-at-Speed just over half way along, I see the tooltip "Playback Speed: 1.66x". If I right arrow then right-click or left-click, the tooltip says 1.69x. Up arrow and the tooltip says 1.72x. Visually, I get a fair amount of flickering in the border when I do this, as soon as CPU use goes above about 15% for any reason. As I've said before, a really handy enhancement woold be if just hovering in a slider produced the tooltip. IMO it is too fiddly and undiscoverable for sighted users to read the current slider setting. Gale |
