[Rwp] item-shortcuts in reaper on mac don't work as expected

[James Teh]

REAPER's in-built item navigation commands are very literal. They move 
to the next or previous item relative to the edit cursor. This means 
that if you're at the start of the project and there's an item at the 
start of the project, moving to the next item will move to the second 
item (not the first) because the first isn't technically *next*; it's 
right at the current position. To get to the first item, you have to go 
to the start of the project, move a little bit forward and then move to 
previous item.

For the same reason, they also won't let you get to items which start at 
the same position. For example, if item 2 and 3 both start at the same 
position, item 3 will be skipped when moving by next item.

ReaAccess behaves differently. I'm thinking I'm eventually going to need 
to implement my own item navigation commands for OSARA to work around 
these issues, as right or wrong, the default behaviour isn't what most 
users expect. Also, I don't think there's any in-built way to get at 
items starting at the same position with the keyboard.

On my mac with Yosemite and reaper 4.77, keyboard-ninja-keymap is loaded, the select next and previous item commands don’t work as they should. Standing at the beginning, ctrl-shift-right brings me to the second of my 4 items. Pressing it again brings me to the end of the project. Item 3 and 4 are totally skipped and ctrl-shift-left for selecting the previous item doesn’t work at all. Am I right that after pressing the keys, the cursor should jump to the selected item and reaper should play from that point?
