[Rwp] some thoughts for the keymap development and things and stuff

There's been a lot of talk about how we are running out of room on the 
keymap.
I've noticed some duplications, first we should weed those out.
I also have some very useful actions that I use all the time, depending 
on what you do you may not want these but these are some of the one's I 
bind.
Actions to move fx up and down in the chain.
I bind those to control win up and down arrows.
  I also like the one for turning markers to regions for exporting 
chunks of a long project, like audio books and such.
control win m
When you do that you can set your render options to export regions, very 
useful.
I think reaper lends itself especially well to long spoken word and
audio book type projects, and I often have a couple of portable copies 
or reaper rendering out long jobs while another reaper copy is doing 
something else.
Hence my  reasons for loving portable reaper because each can live on 
the same machine,
\with it's own config doing tasks while your doing something else with 
another instance.
You can of course, instantiate a reaper instance  by just typing the 
path to the executable in the run box with the - newinst
switch, but if you copy the folder to a new place with another name,
you can have another configuration like for dummy audio for those 
rendering jobs,
or another sound card for recording, and leave it like that.
So I have reaper1, reaper2, and so on and so forth
not always that complex, but it's nice to know I can do that if I need to.
There you go, for what it's worth.
