[RWP] Cutting and Pasting Track Items

[indigo]

We were discussing bypassing certain track items, and I said I didn't 
like the way type 0 midi files become an item on a synth ttrack, instead 
of being placed on tracks of their own, as type 1 midi files do.
If I want to assign  a send from that type 0 midi file to the synth on 
that same track, what do I do?
You can assign sends and receives in Reaper's IO dialog to tracks, but 
not to items.
So I selected its track, then cut the item away from that track, by 
pressing ctrl+right arrow to jump to the first item, then ctrl+X to cut 
the item to the clipboard, then ctrl+T to create a new empty track, then 
ctrl+V to paste the item onto its own track.
Now that the item is separated from its original track you can assign 
sends or receives to it, because it now belongs to its own  track.
Separating track items onto different tracks also should let you bypass 
some track items while processing others through effects.
I'm more and more aware of how much Reaper works like a word processer, 
items are like words or phrases, ctrl+right arrow jumps to the next 
item, ctrl+shift selects the next item, tracks are sort of lines, copy 
and paste moves items around same as words or phrases, home and end take 
you to beginning and end, page up and page down move by measures instead 
of pages.
