[RWP] Key Macros

[indigo]

It's a wonderful idea!
A tutorial like that for Reaper would sell, and be worth recompense for 
your effort
  I'm not anti capitalistic, we all deserve what our products will 
bring, just hope to keep using Reaper affordable.
if in jaws script only, so be it, or if in Auto Hot Key, which plays 
back pre recorded audio explanations when a macro runs, exactly like you 
describe for a tutorial,  all the better for non jaws users.
I swear that this is the year I learn Auto Hot Keys.
The amount of time spent learning it would soon be made up in time saved 
working.

This environment would tell you the key just sent, so you could learn the sequences, and also let you rome the scrreen in review mode, to see what happened.

Repeat audio segments, etc.  Of course, the demo engine would depend on you not doing things to break the sequence, which is a problem.  But, in jaws scrip land, I could trap keys, and probably deal with that.
