[RWP] AutoHotKey A Few HotSpots

Sun Mar 10 06:53:04 EDT 2013

David, I'll get coordinates for a right click on the arm icon that 
sighted users employ; to display the record options menu.
That's what my son uses, and  unless ReaAccess has some how disabled it, 
it should work in all future Reaper versions, since it's been a standard 
Reaper method for years.
It seems to me that triggering  standard Reaper actions with custom AHK 
shortcuts  will be our best insurance to protect us against losing 
actions from  Reaper updates, or restoring actions we've already lost.
If we can get AHK's ability to seek  out a screen button, even when a 
screen has changed,we should get our work flow to be very efficient.
I have a dream of a very tightly organized  corner of access for us, 
partly what still works in ReaAccess, partly Auto Hot Key, partly 
standard Reaper macros, SWS extensions, whatever it takes to work the 
most efficiently.
All of the shortcuts in Reaper are said to be customizable, so that 
should mean that those now used in ReaAccess that no longer function 
could be assigned to  new purposes.
Be careful of using shortcuts in the number pad, though, since standard 
Reaper has already assigned some of those, and I ran into 1 already.
I have a list of standard Reaper shortcuts from 2008, but it seems 
difficult to find an up to date Reaper shortcut list online; but I think 
a list  can be displayed somehow; a modifier key plus F1; isn't it?
