[Rwp] [RWP] OSARA, an open-source ReaAccess replacement in development

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
As someone who has not really gotten into reaper because of not 
understanding the key maps, I can say that if a key map should be 
included, it only be like the 10 most used commands. If not, then I 
would say for a tutorial to say the top 10 most used commands so each 
person can create their own key map.
I know for audacity, I have my own settings for my computer that change 
each computer I'm on because of slightly different key locations and 
different keys.
But I don't understand how Reaper works in regards to doing anything, so 
if anything, a recording of someone using reaper to:
1. record themselves and edit out the blank space on either side of 
their recording.
2. record themselves playing a synth and possibly quantizing it.

That would be much better for me than a keymap.
thanks,
