-<h2 id="trimtonextprevious">Trim to Next/Previous Region</h2>
<p>
- Sometimes you just want to extend the start or end of region so that it reaches
- the end or start of an adjacent region. There is now an operation accessible
- from the region context menu, under <kbd class="menu">Edit >Trim > Trim to
- Next</kbd> or <kbd class="menu">Edit > Trim > Trim to Previous</kbd>. This
- will extend the selected regions so they directly adjoin their neighbours, unless
- their source files are not long enough, in which case they will be extended to the
- maximum possible. Trim to Next will extend the end of the selected regions to the
- start of the next region; Trim to Previous will extend the start of the selected
- regions to the end of the previous region.
+ These command are both in the <kbd class="menu">Region > Trim</kbd> main menu
+ (with a region selected) or in the context menu of a region, <kbd class="menu">
+ <kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> click on a region > <em>Name_Of_The_Region</em>
