USING THE MOUSE

Although using the mouse in Sound Forge XP is not required, it will make

your editing sessions easier. Once you become familiar with Sound Forge XP

you will probably want to use some of the built-in shortcuts provided by the

mouse and the keyboard. (For a complete listing of shortcuts, see Appendix C.)

The following list of terms will help you when reading the manual.

Pointing Moving the mouse pointer over an item.

Clicking Pointing to an item and quickly pressing and

releasing the left or right mouse button. The

manual will indicate whether to right-click or

left-click on an item to execute a specific

function. When there is no left or right

specification, use the left mouse button. Right-

clicking is often used to reach shortcut menus.

Double-clicking Clicking the mouse button twice in quick

succession. Double-clicking always employs the

left mouse button.

Triple-clicking Clicking the mouse button three times in quick

succession. Triple-clicking also always employs

the left mouse button.

Toggle-clicking Clicking the right mouse button repeatedly

while holding the left mouse button to toggle

through various options. This is a great shortcut

for procedures such as drag and drop and

changing the Magnify Tool mode of operation.
