 title: Selecting Tracks
 ---

+<p>
+  Tracks are <dfn>selected</dfn> by clicking on the Track header at the left
+  of the Editor window. You can select multiple tracks with <kbd class="mod1
+  mouse">Left</kbd> clicks, or a range of consecutive tracks with <kbd
+  class="mod3 mouse">Left</kbd>.
+</p>
+<p>
+  By default, <dfn>selecting regions</dfn> has no impact on 
+  <dfn>track selection</dfn>. 
+  You can select a track, then select a region in another track 
+  (or vice versa) and both selections will co-exist happily. 
+  Operations that are applied to tracks will use the track selection, 
+  and those that apply to regions will use the region selection. 
+  Similarly, deselecting a region will not deselect the track it 
+  is in (if that track was selected).
+</p>
+<p>
+  In some workflows, and particularly if you have experience with 
+  other <abbr title="Digital Audio Workstation">DAW</abbr>s, this 
+  is not the most comfortable way to work. You may prefer to work 
+  in a style where selecting a region will also select the track 
+  that the region is in. Similarly, when the last selected region 
+  in a track is deselected, the track will also become unselected.
+</p>
+<p>
+  To control this behaviour, set <kbd class="menu">Edit &gt;
+  Preferences &gt; Editor &gt; Link selection of regions and tracks</kbd>.
