[Rwp] Enabling my midi input in Reaper preferences won't work with NVDA

[James Teh]

Doing that in screen review works for me. As for why REAPER can't help, 
REAPER doesn't implement the applications key correctly anywhere, even 
though this is supposed ot be standard behaviour. I'll try to hack 
around it in OSARA if I can ever clear the rest of this stuff off my 
backlog.
