[Rwp] OSARA keymap

Hi all,
Let me add two example to where I think having echoed information can be 
necessary:
1. When we split an item rea-access reports that an item has been added. 
Now let's say we're working with two tracks and we're scrubbing to edit 
and we want to split. We can need the split to occur on both or on just 
one of the tracks. If you hit s the split will happen on both of the 
tracks, but in osara you don't know that 2 items have been added, 
rea-access would tell you when you hit s. A sighted user would exactly 
know which tracks have been splitted.
2. This is a mor advanced example. When grouping items there is an 
action that selects all items in a group. It would be good to have that 
echoed because it happened to me that I groupped a certain number of 
items, but something went wrong and only one item got added to that 
group. If I had no way of telling how many items were in the group, I 
would have to go back and restart my work, but selecting them let me 
know how many of them were in that group. If anybody is thinking why 
item grouping is useful, that is when you deal with stretch markers.
I hope I could make my point clear enough.
James keep up the good work,.
Best regards,
Gianluca from Italy
