How do I drag the end of a track, making it shorter or longer? When the cursor looks like in this screenshot, I will only move a track (time shift).

1What exactly do you want to achieve? Audacity is a quite simple program. If you want to shorten a clip, you need to cut it. If you want to make it longer... perhaps you should generate a silence clip at the end? – user1079505 Jul 28 '20 at 20:41

I want to drag the end resulting either in a shortened or a prolonged track with silence in the prolongation – Anders Lindén Jul 29 '20 at 7:19
- To shorten the clip choose selection tool (F1), select portion of the clip you want to remove and press Del key.
- To add silence at the end, move cursor to the end of the clip (Shift+End), select menu Generate > Silence and choose length. If you want, you can then merge the two clips, by selecting the whole track and then: Edit > Clip Boundaries > Join
