Colin,
I can't help you with the keyboard question, but I think I can answer
the question about the placement of the start and end markers.
To stop and start playback, I use the spacebar. I hit space to play the
file. Then when I get to the place where I want to place a marker, I hit
space again, then hit the left or right bracket. That works well for me,
though I do notice that Audacity seems to stop a smidge sooner. I don't
know if the spacebar stops at a different place from the F7, but you may
try that.
Ciao
