[RWP] a couple questions

[Scott Chesworth]

Hey Oriol,

I'm not in front of Reaper right now, but off the top of my head, I
think copying and pasting based on selection the way you're doing it
applies across all tracks in the project by default. If you need it to
apply to just one track, try hitting Shift+A to select the item under
the cursor. Your screen reader will say something like "copied
portions of item" when you hit CTRL+C to copy it if you've got the
workflow right. Hitting the escape key will remove those start and end
points you specified for selection and allow you to start over. Your
screen reader should say "unselected" so you know it's been done. One
thing that might come in handy for you is the shortcut Shift+S, which
splits the selection you've made into an item. This way, if you need
to come back to that bit of audio later on in the project, it's
already split out for you based on the selection you made the first
time around, so  you'll save time not having to redefine those start
and end points etc. To navigate through the items on a given track,
use CTRL+Left or CTRL+Right arrows.

I use looping differently to what you're trying to do, so gonna have
to let someone else walk you through that part.
