[Rwp] OSARA key map

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
Then you need to make it clear how to change the different items on the 
track by hand.
I often can't remember what the key-stroke is for each item, so when I 
am in the application and I need a quick reminder I arrow to the element 
on the track and here is what my first inclination is to do:
1. press left and right arrow as that is what it is in Sonar.
2. press the applications key
3. press the alt button and look for a menu called "track" and arrow 
through that.

If there is no way to arm, solo, mute or do all the track's items in any 
one of those 3 places, I start to get frustrated.

If you are using left and right to move through the track, and you don't 
wish ctrl+left and right to move by larger increments, they could also 
move between items in a track.
But some way, I need to see the items in a track with their keystrokes 
inside the program.

The Ray access keystrokes are horrible because they are not logical for 
someone who is coming from other programs.
Those who are using ray access know how to make their own key maps, so 
they should and probably will.
I also could not figure out how to do a basic recording and editing 
using Ray Access, so I just gave up.
In my opinion, the only thing good about Ray access is the simulation of 
the track items and the menus.
thanks,
