[RWP] Jim, your scripts for Reaper

[david hindmarch]

Dear Jim when in the track view press the f-4 key, you are now in what 
ReaAccess calls the actions list.  You can do a great deal with in this set 
of dialogs such as import and export key maps, find short cuts, ascribe 
actions to key commands and create macros of linked actions similar to the 
joining of your hot spots to create multiple key commands,  but it is 
possible to ascribe a key command to an action with in the actions list in 
reaper and that action will usually be reported back to you via your screen 
reader.  I found out last night the back space button is not actually linked 
to the media explore windows although it says it is in the actions list.  so 
let us now activate the back space key and you can see how fortunate it is 
that we have access to the action list.


1 press function key f4.
2 tab four times until your screen reader says "section main".
3 You are now in a list comprising the main module that makes up reaper. 
The one you want is media explore.
4 Pres the down arrow four times until your screen reader says "media 
explore".
5 Now tab once to get in to a list of actions, some of which have already 
been given a key command.
6 press down arrow to check out each the actions until you get to the back 
space browser.
7 fun time!!  If you have located the back space which should be the fourth 
press of your down arrow, you tab once, this will take you in to a list off 
short cuts, you will have one listed but it actually doesn't work, as we now 
know.
8 Tab again and your screen reader will say "short cuts for selected action 
ad button"
9 Pressing the space bar will activate the button, this brings up a dialog 
which says: "type key or move controller".  Which is referring to your midi 
control device.
10 You now choose the key you want to use for the action of moving from one 
folder to another, but in this instance we press the back space button.
some times, if a key is being used for some other action in reaper, you will 
be worned that you will override the previous action, but in this case you 
probably won't get that worning because the back space hasn't been ascribed 
to any  action.
I hope this protracted ramble helps.
