I've downloaded the Reaper Access for Mac, and I can do everything advertised apart from interact with an option using control  option space. So control option left and right navigates me through the track elements, such as mute and solo, but control option space does not do anything. The shortcut to move to different tracks works perfectly, the meters seem to read fine, and skipping beats and bars works fine to. Any ideas?
