[RWP] Reacontrol

[indigo]

Hi Kevin,
It's great to hear from a System Access user.
I've tried to look at ReaAccess with Window-Eyes, Jawsand NVDA, but 
don't own System Access.
If you don't mind, I'll post any tipsyou discover;  to a proposed wikki 
style guide to ReaAccess, once the website is ready for use.
Your method of setting track levels is exactly the same as what I've 
been using in Window-eyes, and it does work, but may not be the most 
direct method.
; I've been working like this:
while a track is selected; bring up that track's first item with 
ctrl+right arrow, then find that item's options at the tab key, with, as 
you say, both item and take options in that same list.
Press enter to save settings.
But, I just learned that those same item edits are available at the 
standard Reaper Item Edit menu, press altand arrow right to the fifth 
submenu.
The Item Edit menu has a long list of powerful options.
quantize submenu is there,  a sub folder with a long list of 
quantization options, and other useful edits.
You and I have been displaying part  of the Item Edit menu with the 
ctrl+right arrow method.
Have you tried this?
After selecting a track, bring up that track's first item with 
ctrl+right arrow; then press the applications key, and another 
interesting menu will display at your arrow keys.
I don't know if; in System Access; you're having the same problem 
getting menus to appear as with  Jaws, Wineyes and NVDA.
 From Reaper version 4 onwards, menus don't display from pressing the 
applications key.
Roy found a cure, press ctrl+up arrow, then press the applications key 
then  the menu displays.
 From now on, I think I'm going to try shortcuts to bring up the whole 
Item Edit menu, and use shortcuts in it to bring up the same actions 
there, which may  be a quicker and more direct method.

cheers,
Indigo L
