[Rwp] Copying Multiple Items on Multiple Tracks

[James Teh]

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I suspect the trick 
is going to be to just think about item selection, not track selection. 
So, the last thing you select should be an item. It's also going to be 
easier to do this using non-contiguous selection, I think. Otherwise, 
you'll end up accidentally selecting stuff you don't want.

Note that while REAPER is itself very context sensitive, OSARA takes it 
even further. While it does have its drawbacks when dealing with complex 
stuff like this, the problem with not being context sensitive is that 
you need a lot of extra commands for each possible context.
