Re: [Audacity-devel] New Audacity Functionality: Real-time editing

[Martyn S. <mar...@go...>]

Hi Daniel

 From my very limited reading, LibriVox seems like a good project to 
support, so I'll do what I can to help you (amongst my other things to 
do).

I've just read that post and it seems like a good idea.  And I like 
the fact that you have already got Audacity compiled and running from 
CVS and want to have a go.

I think if I were to try and implement your original idea (and it 
doesn't sound impossible) I would start by adding a c->AddCommand in 
Menus.cpp, and a function to do the job.  Then I'd look at calling 
OnStop, then at how the code returns to the previous label (as 
described by Gale) and then how to push the point back by a few 
seconds and play.  It would be a start anyway.  I'm not sure how you 
are going to restart the recording, but it must be possible, and 
that's the challenge isn't it?

With regards Ctrl+M, it may not be the most convenient for your needs, 
but it can always be redefined in the keyboard preferences.  And 
making Audacity hang on to it while another app has focus ("global 
hotkeys") may be tricky, but if other apps manage it...

I'm not sure if this idea is 'mainstream' enough to make it into 
mainstream Audacity, but if it wasn't then you could always make your 
version available to LibriVox volunteers for their use via some web 
site.  But I think if properly implemented it could make it in, as 
long as the default hotkeys weren't too intrusive.

So I encourage you to have a go!
