[Rwp] I have installed Reaper, let the dumb questions begin!

Hey all. As the subject line indicates, I have finally installed Reaper, 
5.01, just downloaded today, 64-bit on 64-bit Windows 10. OSARA 64-bit, 
SWS extension 2.8.0.0. I've imported the latest keymap from the OSARA 
website. Running NVDA 2015.3. So here we go with the dumb questions.

Do menus work in Reaper? Because hitting alt doesn't seem to bring 
anything up for me, I have to go into screen review and route with 
nvda-num-slash and then click with num-slash to get into the menus. For 
a while the actions list was being weird and not appearing, I had to 
restart Reaper a couple of times to import the keymap, but now f4 brings 
it up, so that's fixed at least.

I'm pretty sure the new keymap is working correctly because I hit ctrl-t 
and it inserted a new track and put up an edit field for me to type in 
the name, and the track had that name, or at least, it read that name 
and some values when I hit up and down arrow. Obviously I haven't messed 
with it much, that's all I've done, though it did seem to save my 
settings from installing it under 8.1 since it referenced my pro sound 
card in the newly inserted track. I hope to begin working my way through 
the manual this week, that's the recommended course of action to get 
started right? I take it nobody's done any podcasts on OSARA? I know 
somebody here did some on reaccess and I have those, e.g. on recording 
midi, so I'll try checking those out as well, I assume the general ideas 
will be helpful.
