[Rwp] Something seriously missing in Reaper.

[Scott Chesworth]

You can use ReaConsole for this. It's part of the SWS extensions that
you can grab from www.standingwaterstudios.com

If you're still using ReaAccess, there's a little bit of config
required, as the C key which is assigned to open ReaConsole by default
is already assigned. You'll need to clear up that duplicate by
reassigning one of those functions that's currently mapped to the C
key in the actions list by hitting F4. Once that's done, hit whichever
key you've assigned to open ReaConsole, type a lower case s to toggle
selection of the track you're currently on, hit enter, then type
another s directly followed by the number of the track you want to
select and hit enter again. You should find when you hit escape to
close ReaConsole that keyboard focus has also moved to the newly
selected track. You could use CTRL+Shift+Space at each stage to verify
what's been done to the selection for extra reassurance when you're
getting started with ReaConsole, but after a while you'll probably
find the commands become second nature and you won't need to verify
common workflows. If you're no good with track numbers but you have a
consistent naming scheme, check the ReaConsole manual to learn the
syntax for referencing tracks by name rather than number. All of this
takes longer to explain than it does to execute, and it's probably
worth pointing out that I'm not the most efficient ReaConsole user
either. For example, I'd bet there's a way to chain those two
selection commands we used together into one that I just haven't
figured out.
