[Rwp] OSARA keymap

We changed the console from c, to shift+c because c creates a tempo marker, 
and shift+c edits the marker closest to the cursor.
Again, trying to preserve as much of the reaaccess functionality as 
possible.

I use vary-speed a lot because of my work in editing large podcasts.  Its 
good to be able to speed through material I know to be fine.

As far as the tab and shift+tab transient navigation goes, playback doesn't 
follow the cursor, but the actions we chained together makes this the case.

The automatic playback of items is another excellent means of seeking 
through a large project.
Unlike reaaccess, it  gives you the perk of being able to play your project, 
and while playing, jump to the next item, not the beginning of the currently 
playing item.

There are some osara actions missing, which deal with metering and a few 
other things, but I'll report those if necessary.
It would be nice to have an action which would echo the previous action.
For example, reaaccess speaks when you do things like stretch and fit items 
to time selection, add tempo changes, etc.  Rathe than attempt to make 
everything speek, adding an "echo last action" function would give keymap 
designers the ability to speek or not speek sertain actions.
