Region Operations A region has several areas in its on-screen representation: the waveform (the majority of the region's display area, normally) the trim bar (the colored bar below the waveform) the name (in the trim bar, text) the fade handles (small squares that default to the upper left + right corners) the fade shape (filled or empty curves representing fade in + fade out) the gain envelope (hidden by default) Mouse operations on each area will do different things.

Automation Operations In general Button2-drag will do a constrained drag: control points will stay at the same position in time if dragged up and down and they will stay at the same value if dragged sideways.
