[Rwp] OSARA key map

[Patrick Perdue]

Two things here:
Reaper will complain if you try to assign something to a previously 
mapped key. Also, you can use the "find shortcut..." button in the 
actions list to filter by a shortcut or any modifiers associated, as 
well as the ability to dynamically generate a webpage containing the 
entire keymap.
So, nothing to worry about there.
