[Rwp] Copying Multiple Items on Multiple Tracks

[Chris Belle]

Well, wonders will never cease.
I managed to get a hunk of tracks to copy inserting later without having 
to split.
I used the alt-shift i
select all items on selected tracks in current time selection
and

and the alt-control l

copy loop of selected area of audio items
respectively.
and for what ever reason it worked.

I had ripple all tracks on and only one item per track though.
