[Rwp] Cursor-behavior in time selection

[Jim Snowbarger]

The thing I always miss is the ability to confirm the time selection, that
it actually covers the space I thought it did.
And, it seems that, if you position to the right end of it with right
bracket,then left arrow to just move you inside the selection, that you can
press space to play the selection.

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
