I would use this method if you don't wish to use the mouse:

1) Position the edit cursor at the begining of your desired loop region
2) Press 'D' until the Time Selection Tool is selected
3) Now you can either:

   a) Hold 'Shift' and use the arrow to select the region you wish
   b) Do 'CTRL' + 'Shift' + 'G' and type in the end time for the loop region you desire

Hope this helps,

Nate

Thats cool... Is there a way to shuttle the loop selection?
It looks like with this method I can only move the right end of the loop reigon from the keyboard.

If there is a way to "shuttle" the loop region without the mouse, the I am unaware of it. With the mouse, you can just grab the region by the top edge and drag it around. Sorry I couldn't be of more help this time.

If you are a person who finds reaching for the mouse annoying and time consuming, perhaps getting an nice big trackball and just setting it next to your keyboard would be a good solution. There isn't much reaching involved and you often get assignable buttons with it. Setting one to be Mouse3 (middle-click) can be useful for scrolling around in your projects quickly.

Hope this helps.

Actually, the loop region follows the same keyboard shortcuts that are used for manipulating the Chopper selection:

; - halves the loop region
' - doubled the loop region
, - shifts the loop region left (by the loop region length)
. - shifts the loop region right (by the loop region length)

Is this what you are looking for?
