Extra Menu - Audacity Manual

# Extra Menu

From Audacity Development Manual
The Extra menu provides access to Toolbar operations, commands for track focus and movement of the editing or playback cursor that are not available in the default Audacity menus.

- The Extra menu will be of most interest to visually-impaired users or those who have difficulty using the mouse.
- Shortcuts can be assigned to these commands if required.
- This menu can be turned on (or off) at View > Extra Menus (on/off) or the Interface pane of Preferences.

- The first group of items on this menu mostly provide menu equivalents of toolbar actions. Most things that can be achieved using the toolbars can be achieved using these menu items.
