Hi & Greetings from a peaceful evening on the Sunshine Coast
I was just doing some reading yesterday with regards the latest version of
AHK, and it does support some sort of Image finding and there certainly is
extensive built in monitoring for positions and colours etc...
Tis only very very early days as far as my understanding and programming of
AHK goes, but it has been round for many years, has an incredibly active
community, and is still being, I believe developed...
I believe we should use all the resources that are available to achieve the
goals we desire...
Tis all good.... in one way or another...
Take care all

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?
