[Rwp] Cursor-behavior in time selection

[Scott Chesworth]

Hi Michael,

What you're doing now works, but there are other ways which might turn
out to be more efficient depending on what you're editing.

Instead of using your left and right arrows to scrub with shift held
down to create a selection, for larger selections these keystrokes
might be useful. Assuming you're using ReaAccess for now, Alt+Shift+[
will specify the start of a time selection, and Alt+Shift+] will
specify the end of that time selection. Once you have a time selection
specified, [ will jump to the beginning of it and ] will jump to the
end. When you're trying to make a selection over a larger amount of
bars, beats or time, combining those keystrokes with the CTRL+Page Up
and down to skip through bars, CTRL+Shift+Page Up and Page Down to
move by beats, or specifying a location using the jump dialogue you
can get to with CTRL+J might speed things up for you. There's also a
checkbox that will make Reaper automatically jump back to the start of
the time selection once it's been specified. You'll find that setting
in Preferences, it's the first checkbox under Editing Behavior.

Hope that helps to cut down on the amount of arrow bashing you'll have to do :)

Scott
