... Problem with static initialization order of ReservedCommandFlags, caused
wrong enablement of menu items (at least on Mac), such as Plot Spectrum or
Contrast enabled when there was no selection
... This demonstrates the possibility of visitation of the menu tree specifying
other actions.
This dumps the internal path identifiers of the registry -- not the user visible
names.
Note that lines don't exactly correspond with menu items, where there are
command groups such as Align, or special steps such as population of the
recent files sub-menu.
Perhaps this should be adapted as another case of the GetInfo macro command.
... which is not yet used for anything.
It could be used to describe textual paths for attaching plug-in menu items.
Strings are only path local, not necessarily globally unique, and may be
left empty for separators and for groups that should be transparent to
path identification.
It may also be empty for certain sub-menus, such as those that group effects
according to the changeable criteria in Preferences.
... Except a few where project or plugin manager state or preferences are
needed to compute the items, so evaluation is delayed, often inside lambdas

Whatever change it is that needs loading by LoadPrefs -- do it instead right
after any possibility of changes to the relevant preferences, in the Commit()
functions of SpectrumPrefs and WaveforPrefs
If one of the keyboard scrubbing keys is being held down, and the other keyboard scrubbing key is pressed:
1. With current behaviour, scrubbing in the other direction only starts when the original key is released - scrubbing stops and then starts in the other direction.
2. With the new behaviour, scrubbing immediately changes direction, and does not stop when the original key is released - scrubbing does not stop and then start again.
New behaviour:
If one of the keyboard scrubbing keys is being held down,
... and Track::GetOwner() is publicized, so that now you can find the
the AudacityProject, if any, that owns a given Track; this will help eliminate
some uses of GetActiveProject
... It must be empty, or else one extension not including the leading dot;
then correct the string passed to FileSelector in lib-src, which should be
a filename pattern
- There are two new commands: Scrub Backwards and Scrub Forwards.
- These commands appear on the Transport sub menu of the Extra menu.
- The commands have default shortcuts U and I, and are in the standard default set.
- After pressing one of the two keys, playback continues until the key is released. (Note that this means that the command on the Extra > Transport menu can't actually be used for scrubbing as it executes a KeyDown immediately followed by a KeyUp, but the menu items are needed so that the current keystrokes can be seen and changed.)
- Playback starts from the cursor position, or the start of a time selection if there is one.
- The speed of playback is determined by the zoom level. If the zoom level is normal, then the playback speed is one quarter of the normal playback speed. Zooming in (Ctrl + 1), halves the playback speed, and zooming out (Ctrl + 3) doubles the playback speed. There are minimum and maximum playback speeds of one sixteenth, and four respectively.
- You can scrub to the end of the audio, even if there is an initial selection. In other words, scrubbing forwards does not automatically stop at the end of the selection.
- Normally, when one of the keys is released, the position of the cursor is set to the time when the key was released.
- If during the time one of the keys is pressed the left bracket and or right bracket keys are pressed to set the start and/or end of the selection, then when the scrubbing key is released, the change to the selection made by pressing the bracket keys is preserved - the position of the cursor is not set to the time when the key was released.
This implementation is affected by two existing bugs:
1. Bug 1954 - Clicks may occur starting/pausing play-at-speed or Scrub. (See comment 19 and attached image).
2. Bug 1956 - Windows: MME and WDS playback cursor is buffer length ahead of actual audio playing. This means that on Windows, WASAPI is preferable if scrubbing is being used for the accurate positioning of the cursor.
