[Rwp] OSARA key map

[Scott Chesworth]

Hi Brandon,

I'm curious about something. Taking mute as an example, why would you
want M and Shift+M to mute and unmute, when just M could act as a
toggle, so one press mutes, the next press unmutes. My thinking is
that if it's a toggle, it then frees up Shift+M to be used for
something related to muting that applies to a wider range of tracks,
but what's yours?

Cheers

Scott
