[Rwp] OSARA key map

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
In many programs that blind people come in contact with, k, or ctrl+k, 
set bookmarks, so having k makes perfect sense.

But frankly, having a tried and tested key map with documented 
keystrokes is all we need. I will change your keymap sometime, so who 
cares how it begins?
I would like to have some way to figure out if a keystroke has already 
been taken. From what I remember when looking at Reaper's keymapping 
functions, there were hundreds of actions. A key stroke does not always 
trigger when you press it (it may be in the wrong area) and if it does 
trigger, there is no way to know what it does if it doesn't say.
Audacity has a lovely feature that will keep you from over-riding a 
current key-stroke and it will tell you where that key-stroke is currently.
But this is almost getting into something Reaper should do and not an 
accessibility plugin.
Thanks,
