[Rwp] Copying Multiple Items on Multiple Tracks

[TheOreoMonster]

Select tracks. 
Set start point and end point.
Select all items in selected tracks in time selection.
Copy or cut (the one thats mapped to control+Shift+C or control+shift+x by default should work here)
If working with contiguous tracks and yo are having issue pasting press escape to clear the selection then only select the first track. This seems to tell reaper selection starts here and the rest go on the appropriate tracks below it.
Move cursor to where you want and paste.
If where you want to paste already have items and you want to move everything over to the right and insert what you want to paste there use the insert time option i believe its under the insert menu. (just did a clean install and hadn’t had a chance to install reaper on this particular machine yet so can’t check that at the moment)
Only other thing i am wondering now is if Osara is interfering with the reaper default behavior in some way. I personally stopped using the little reaper access plug victor did for reaper on OS X because it seemed like that plug in was fighting with ReaConsole for whatever the selected tracks were supposed to be, and ReaConsole is the only method i have for selecting non contiguous tracks at the moment.

>>> 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.
