Moving Selections: Part 1

Here are some useful shortcuts for moving selections without touching the mouse:

Mac :: PC
Command (Cm) :: Control; Option (Op) :: Alt; Control (Ct) :: Windows; Shift (Sh) :: Shift

Ct P -- moves the selection to the track above (add Shift to extend the selection)

Ct ; -- moves the selection to the track below (add Shift to extend the selection)

Cm Op Ct ' (apostrophe) -- Move the Edit selection forward by the selection amount

Cm Op Ct L -- Move the Edit selection backward by the selection amount

Cm Op Ct Sh ' (apostrophe) -- Double the length of the Edit selection

Cm Op Ct Sh L -- Halve the length of the Edit selection

If you have Commands Keyboard Focus on in the edit window the shortcuts above to move the selection above/below on a track, doesn't require the Control modifier.

Cm Op [1] (a number in brackets means the numbers on the number pad) to turn on Commands Keyboard Focus. This makes the keys on the keyboard perform single action commands. For instance, x will cut (no Command needed), z for undo, etc.
