[RWP] Creating functions?

To open the functions list ; which is actually called the actions 
dialog; press F4.
Okay, you have a thousand or 2 Reaper actions in the general actions 
list, but you can shoot directly to particular actions by typing key 
words into the search box.
You don't need to press enter after typing in search terms, just tab 
down to the field that displays search results; which is 1 tab below the 
general actions list.

Now, arrow to exactly the action you want to create.
Actually, you're not creating anything here; the action is already set 
up, just waiting for you to provide it with a qwerty shortcut; or assign 
it to a button, knob or slider on a control surface.
Now after arrowing to the desired action, tab down to where the shortcut 
for the action you arrowed to is displayed.
If you already find a shortcut in this field, you can decide if you want 
to replace it with your own shortcut, or maybe you'd like to trigger 
that action from your control surface.
Either type in a shortcut or press or wiggle a control on your control 
surface.
Then tab down farther and there's a field where you can try out the 
action while remaining in the action dialog, or you can exit the dialog 
and try the action somewhere in your music tracks.
This is not a step by step explanation, and you can do much more in the 
actions dialog than assign a shortcut to a single action, like you can 
chain any number of actions together; but if you spend some time in the 
actions dialog you'll soon become at home in it.

> As the subject says, how do I go about creating functions to add to the functions list? is there a way to also automate functions together to make a type of batch process? I am tryinng to cut down on the keystrokes. I think Keven Reeves was asking something like this a while back, but I don't remember if anyone came up with anything. lol. I think that was the three that got kind of long. I do remember something like that though. I was just wondering how easy or hard it is to create custom functions? Thanks for any help…
