Interestingly, I actually find modified keys very quick to hit. My 
fingers automatically snap to the typing positions (and I'm already in 
those positions for other actions), so all I have to do is drop my hand 
to the modifiers, which is almost instantaneous, rather than having to 
move my hand to the top row of the keyboard and count keys or even look 
for a dot. Maybe I'm an exception to the rule, though. I also find it 
rather easy to hit key combinations which most people complain are like 
doing finger acrobatics. I wonder if that has something to do with piano 
playing? <shrug>

I considered having mute, solo and arm as m, s and a, but the problem is 
that this changes default REAPER commands, which I'm also not a fan of 
doing.
