        "content": "In REAPER (with JAWS or any setup), you can select everything from a certain point (your edit cursor) to the end of the audio (or project) and delete it using built-in actions and/or by building a custom action. Below is how to do that. If anything is unclear, let me know and I can give you step-by-step voice instructions.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83c\udfaf Steps to Select & Delete from a Point to the End\n\nHere are two approaches:\n\n---\n\n### A) Using Existing Actions / Shortcuts\n\n1. **Move the edit cursor** to the exact point where you want the deletion to start.  \n   Use the mouse or keyboard navigation to set the cursor.\n\n2. **Set a time selection start** at the edit-cursor position.  \n   The action is: **Time selection: Set start point** ([audeobox.com](https://www.audeobox.com/learn/reaper/reaper-keyboard-shortcuts-cheat-sheet/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Move to the project end.**  \n   Use the action: **Transport: Go to end of project** ([reaperaccessibility.com](https://www.reaperaccessibility.com/index.php/Reaper_shortcut_key_list_by_headings?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Set time selection end** at the end of project.  \n   Use: **Time selection: Set end point** ([audeobox.com](https://www.audeobox.com/learn/reaper/reaper-keyboard-shortcuts-cheat-sheet/?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Select all media items within the time selection**.  \n   Use: **Item: Select all items on selected tracks in current time selection** (or similar action) ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Reaper/comments/qs8uaf?utm_source=openai))\n\n6. **Delete the selected items.**  \n   Use: **Remove items/tracks/envelope points (depending on focus)** (usually this is bound to the \u201cDelete\u201d key) ([dl.reaper.fm](https://dl.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide510b.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### B) Creating a Custom Action (Macro) to Do It in One Keystroke\n\nIf you'll use this often, you can combine those steps into one custom action so you only need to press one shortcut. Here's how:\n\n| Step | Action in the Macro |\n|---|---|\n| 1 | Item: Unselect all items |\n| 2 | Move edit cursor to desired start (manually before macro, or include if based on selected item under mouse) |\n| 3 | Time selection: Set start point |\n| 4 | Transport: Go to end of project |\n| 5 | Time selection: Set end point |\n| 6 | Item: Select all items on selected tracks in current time selection |\n| 7 | Remove items (delete selected items) |\n\nYou set this custom action up via **Actions \u2192 Show Action List \u2192 New custom action**, then assign a shortcut to it. ([audeobox.com](https://www.audeobox.com/learn/reaper/custom-actions-guide/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d Some Useful Existing Actions\n\nThere are also simpler actions that only trim items up to or after the cursor, without needing full time selections. If you just want to cut off everything **after** your cursor, trimming the media item:\n\n- **Item: Trim items right of cursor** \u2014 deletes content *after* the cursor inside the selected item(s). ([dlz.reaper.fm](https://dlz.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide710d.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Item: Trim items left of cursor** \u2014 removes content *before* the cursor. (You won't need this for your case, but good to know.) ([dlz.reaper.fm](https://dlz.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide710d.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Summary: Shortest Workflow\n\nIf your goal is \u201cfrom here (cursor) to end \u2192 delete everything\u201d on selected tracks or the whole project:\n\n1. Place your edit cursor where you want to start deleting.  \n2. Run a custom action or perform the sequence above:  \n   \u2192 Set time selection start  \n   \u2192 Go to end of project  \n   \u2192 Set time selection end  \n   \u2192 Select all items in that time selection  \n   \u2192 Delete (remove) items\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can give you the exact command names (how they are read out by JAWS or how to trigger them without mouse) so you can do it entirely by keyboard. Do you want that?"
