[Rwp] Intro and importing a keymap

[Brian Hartgen]

Thanks Scott. Yes, that probably was the problem with ReaAccess, but as you
say, it is better using what is current. And most things I need are working
really well!

Thank you.

Hi Brian,

To get to the actions dialog, you can hit F4 (which should already be
assigned in the default keymap). Failing that, you can reach it by going to
the Actions menu by hitting Alt+A, then choosing the default option which
should be "Show action list...".

Once in the action list, Shift+Tab twice will get you to a button entitled
"Import/export...". Hitting space on that will pop up a menu, and when you
select the "Import" option, you'll be presented with a standard Windows open
dialog that'll let you locate that keymap file you've downloaded.

I've made a note to get that actions dialog terminology changed in the OSARA
documentation as it's a bit misleading.

FWIW, a likely reason that ReaAccess didn't work for you is that the version
of Reaper has to match the version of Windows for it to install, IE if
you're running Windows 8.1 64-bit, you'd need to be running Reaper X64 to
match. It's an annoying bug in the installer that never got resolved when
the developer disappeared in a puff of smoke. In any case, OSARA is the
future, so you're better off starting with that from day one.
