[Rwp] Cutting and pasting

[Justin Macleod]

I tend to work more with items than time selections so I'm not sure but be certain that your edit cursor is on your time selection when you do the copying/cutting. With Reaper, it's possible to have your cursor anywhere in your project and still have the selection active. You can get to the beginning of your selection by pressing control home. 

You would be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to the action in the edit menue, once you've got it to work, from the actions list. Press f4, type the action description as found in the edit menu or a sufficient portion thereof, highlight the appropriate action in the list and then tab to find the button that enables you to designate a shortcut. I forget what it's called. 

Hope this helps, 

Justin

OK, so I’m practising with Reaper. I’ve managed to make a selection using al shift and left/right bracket, then press the delete key to delete that selection. And it works perfectly. But I can’t get the same result with cutting. I assumed I’d have to make my selection, then press control X to cut, then control V to paste, but it doesn’t work. Pressing F12 to run the Osara keyboard shortcut help seems to indicate that control X doesn’t do anything, but rather Control Shift X is what you do to cut. Trying this means that Reaper assumes I want to move the entire track, rather than merely removing the selected portion of audio. So then I went to the edit menu, and saw the option, cut items/tracks/envelope points within time selection. It didn’t seem to have a keyboard shortcut attributed to it that I could find, so I activated that option directly from the edit menu. But again, it got rid of the entire track. What am I missing? Thanks.
