[RWP] AutoHotKey A Few HotSpots

[Indigo]

Hi David,
Thanks for the coordinates.
I currently need to hit the ctrl+up arrow workAround twice to get the 
applications key extended recording options menu to display; but if 
future versions of Reaper break that fix entirely; I'll be using your 
coordinates for sure.
It's great that you're now using Auto Hot Key for day to day ReaAccess 
issues.
I haven't begun studying AHK yet, but I'm beginning to comprehend what 
is needed to get access to some VST synths; like simple clicks on 
buttons are not always enough.
I had assistance from a simple macro way back in the Atari days, so I 
understand how macros  work to record mouse actions.
For Instance, in Alchemy Player the sighted user needs to drag and drop; 
first finding a white border around Preset variation number 1; that 
selects number 1; then dragging that border to the other variations 2 
through 8; in order to trigger the other variations of the preset sound.
I'd need to have 7 or 8 AHK shortcuts just to trigger the 8 preset 
variations.
There are still some keyboard shortcuts that aren't yet used, by either 
Reaper itself or ReaAccess.
Also, I believe, AHK separates the left and right control keys as 
separate modifier keys for shortcuts, providing a bunch more available 
shortcuts.
Note that Reaper itself has quite a few shortcuts at the numPad separate 
from ReaAccess shortcuts; that we might be using now, if we only learn 
them, so watch out for conflicts at the numPad.

I've only run into 1 numPad conflict so far, a Wineyes shortcut to speak 
screen coordinates that triggers a standard Reaper shortcut; so I 
changed the Wineyes shortcut.

The closer I get to making my own access shortcuts the more I respect 
what programmers are running into with access issues, like all those 
interface heirarkies, or overlapping interface  elements, that I hear 
about from Steve Spamer in Kontakt.
Glad you chose AHK, so we all can benefit, whatever screenreader we use.
