Default Area Selection vs Media, Track and Arrange View

I know area selection is still new but can anyone please explain how this fits into the mouse modifiers ? Where does area selection exist on the screen compared with media items, track and arrange view modifiers ?

It has its own set of modifiers. Not sure what exactly it is you're asking? It's a part of arrange view.

Hey EvilDragon, I'm confused as to what context it works ? Over media items, between tracks, anywhere in the arrange view ?

It (highly controversially) uses Right-Drag, so it'll conflict with the default Time Selection stuff.

I have the latest dev version how come mine doesn't have that? You're on Mac and I'm windows 10 so maybe that's it.

Coachz: In Mouse Modifiers “Arrange View”, “Right Drag”. Not in “Area Selection”.

You’re in the Arrange View when you create the AS, the AS and AS Edge MMs are for dragging or manipulating the AS once created. Does that make sense now..?

I hear what you're saying but none of it really makes sense. I can't wait for someone to make a video explaining all this new technology. Shout out epicsounds

The modifiers for creating an area selection are in "Context: Arrange view".

Once you have created an area selection, the mouse modifiers for operating on the area selection itself when you are over an area selection are in "Context: Area selection" and "Context: Area selection edge".

Alt or Opt Right drag around your media and/or automation segment in the Arrange View; the glowing green box starts to appear.

Once you have your Area Selection box, either left drag to move, Ctrl left drag to copy the box somewhere else in arrange. Once you get that, try the other modifiers with it...
