Tip
If you are running out of screen space because you have many tracks it is a good idea to move commands or actions from the menu to the Extra or Timeline Toolbar, and also from the Status Bar to the Timeline Toolbar. Then switch off the menu bar in or with Ctrl+M and the Status Bar in . Please note that with the Status Bar off you will not get any keybinding information.
