Go: Edit>Select and you'll see the Keystrokes - any good for you?

OR - you get could get Excalibur 4 - comes with a BAG full of tools too ...

Grazie

Hi,

No, sorry they don't give me the short cut for: Select Events "to" End
If you right click on an event on the timeline you can choose this option which selects "all" events on the timeline after the event you have clicked on.
On the Edit/Select menu they are shortcuts for just the current event selected.
Surely I don't have to buy another piece of software just to get a keyboard shortcut for a menu option that already exists?
Thanks for trying to help.

For a single Track, yes? Rt click on Event+"n" . .does this do it for you?

Left click the first event, hold SHIFT and click on the last event will select to end

or,
Right click the first event, and choose "Select events to end" and you'll get what you want.
The benefit of the latter is that you can use it on multiple tracks.

Finally, you can also use the multiple selection tool to determine specific tracks you'd like to select through the end.

Hi,

Rt click on Event+"n".
That does it for me!
Thanks.

The other options should be helpful as well.
Thanks Grazie and Spot for the help.
Much appreciated.

Sounds like the answer is "no" then.

This was something I was looking for through version 3 and into version 4. Eventually I figured out that Post Edit Ripple did what I wanted-which was to select all to end and then move them all. (post edit ripple doesn't do that exactly but the effect can be the same)

The only pitfall to post edit ripple is that it can wipe out a fade on the end of the one event you moved (but not on the events further down the line). It does this because whan you move an event with a fade to overlap another event, Vegas converts the fade to a transition and then bases the ripple on that state of the event. You just need to be aware of it and watch out for it.

I had a "jones" for a keyboard shortcut because when I started using Vegas I had just recently finished Media100 tutorials and cut a couple of quick projects. That program has shortcuts to select all , or all in track, from the cursor to the end or to the beginning of the timeline. Four key combinations to remember. Generally, post edit ripple is enough, if you can just shift mental gears a bit.
