I have finally found out the meaning of "Left/Right at Playback Position". For example, "Left at Playback Position" has two types of actions. When playing or recording, it left current playback position be the **LEFT** boundary of the potential selection, waiting for "Right at Playback Position" to close it. When no audio playing or recording, it let the current cursor position as **RIGHT* *boundary and opens a dialog to decide left boundary. Here problem comes. I'm confused on "Left at Playback Position". It is kind of mixed IMO, mixing "(Set) Left (Boundary) at Playback Position" and "(Set Boundary at) Left to Cursor Position". In my predecessors' translation in Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), they left something meaning "at Left-end(maybe meaning some point at left) at(from) Playback Position" (在回放位置左端), it is not clear as well as in English (I wonder if it is true in English). As a user, I was confused in both language versions until I've read the manual. If it is a real problem, I suggest using something like "Set Selection Starting"/"Set Selection Ending" while turning the action in no-audio-playing mode so that it can be understood and translated easier.
