[RWP] Enhancing ReaAccess

[Indigo]

Hi Nadine,
So it's true, you've got ReaAccess to speak your new action; great!
When I looked at that very long group of mouse modifiers in the action 
list, I thought, with some careful thinking; some of these could be of 
use to us.
Some are toggles that turn a mouse action off or on, but some seem to be 
carrying out mouse actions; and the mouse is very powerful.
For instance, my sighted son just gets his mouse cursor slightly within 
the right hand edge of an item; holds the left mouse button and zips the 
mouse way over to the right on the timeline and lets go of the mouse 
button; and the item length is stretched to a new value.
This causes the item to loop again and again on the timeline; until the 
play cursor reaches the end of the new item length.
I do the same by going to item properties, making sure the item is set 
to an even number of beats, then calculating a multiple of the number of 
beats and typing it into the item length edit field; then clicking apply 
and OK.
I'm thinking if it would be quicker to press a hot key to run a mouse 
modifier that would drag that right edge of the item, and maybe let me 
set the item length with page down; or better yet; combine with a mouse 
modifier that drags the item length to a new value, waits for my value 
entry, then finalizes the actions.
There are a huge number of those mouse modifiers so maybe two or more 
combined could achieve the desired action; worth thinking about.
 From reading the Cockos forums, it seems to be no big deal to string 
several actions together; I think written with ReaScript.
We're cracking old ReaAccess, yea!
