In any project that is larger than the track window when zoomed all the way out, it's not practical to click and drag a large selection- say from 30:24, to the end at 74:31
- it's not aways easy to precisely choose the initial click position, especially when zoomed all the way out.
If zoomed in, when you drag off screen for the rest of the selection, it can take a LONG time to reach your destination!
The way to do this is to:
1. go to Edit/Select/From=Now
or
2. Ctrl F6
option 2 is not working for me, but i could no doubt fix it in the key bindings editor.
