Quickest way to select a gap between two regions ?

[sauna-l]

Hi,

I do use some workarounds for doing this:

select the exact gap between the end of region and the beginning of the next.

But there's some key command I must be missing or that doesn't work for me.

thanks for any input

Place your cursor just before the end of the first region. Hit TAB to jump to the end of the region, then SHIFT-TAB to select to the next region boundary.

that was always true before PT 7.0, but now, sometimes you will select the whole next region if the gap is *too small* (on larger sessions).

I was the author of a recent thread talking about this. It seems this happens if you have a Quicktime movie in the session and you are within 700 samples of the next region boundary. A bug for sure.

I tend do place the cursor into the gap and then press "L" to jump back and then SHIFT+TAB to select or vice versa (TAB and then SHIFT+L).

The reason: Sometimes there is a short fade out at the end of the region, so if you place the cursor into the region and hit TAB once, you're at the beginning of the fade out and not at the beginning of the gap

Hope this helps

PS: instead of "L" you can use OPTION-TAB -> SHIFT+OPTION+TAB = SHIFT+L
