Hello everyone,
So here it is, I have a silly question, but how do you move that darn selection cursor in Audacity? ^^
When I use the arrow keys it moves the track instead of moving the cursor. Did I miss something or what? o_O
In any case, for now, it's not very good for making precise selections. I've seen more intuitive :-P
Thanks in advance for your help ;-)

Hello,
indeed Audacity is not made for precise selections! :)
If I understood your question correctly, to move the cursor, you click on the "I" icon at the top left! Then you select with the mouse.

Other versions may have been released after the one I have; I haven't updated it in a long time, but if I’m not mistaken, in mine, all you need to do is click where you want to place it, and with a click-and-drag, you select a part of the song.
Thank you for your answers ^^
But I understood that you had to click to place the cursor :-P What I want is to be able to move it precisely with the arrow keys, like in 3/4 of audio or video editors ;-)
The I icon is enabled by default.
