<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello,<br>
In many programs that blind people come in contact with, k, or
ctrl+k, set bookmarks, so having k makes perfect sense.<br>
<br>
But frankly, having a tried and tested key map with documented
keystrokes is all we need. I will change your keymap sometime, so
who cares how it begins?<br>
I would like to have some way to figure out if a keystroke has
already been taken. From what I remember when looking at Reaper's
keymapping functions, there were hundreds of actions. A key stroke
does not always trigger when you press it (it may be in the wrong
area) and if it does trigger, there is no way to know what it does
if it doesn't say.<br>
Audacity has a lovely feature that will keep you from over-riding
a current key-stroke and it will tell you where that key-stroke is
currently.<br>
But this is almost getting into something Reaper should do and not
an accessibility plugin.<br>
Thanks,<br>

<br>
ok, m? we'll go with the second letter, a? oh wait, that's to
arm a track.
<br>
No problem, r then? oh wait, no. That's record, k perhaps?
<br>
Sure, k to put down a time marker.
<br>
If we're going to make reaper something that beginners can learn,
I feel that simplifying the keymap won't work, but having 1 keymap
the majority agrees with would allow those good at documentation
to do there thing.

I'm curious about something. Taking mute as an example, why
would you
<br>
want M and Shift+M to mute and unmute, when just M could act as
a
<br>
toggle, so one press mutes, the next press unmutes. My thinking
is
<br>
that if it's a toggle, it then frees up Shift+M to be used for
<br>
something related to muting that applies to a wider range of
tracks,
<br>
but what's yours?
<br>
<br>
Cheers

I agree, build the keymap for the newbies and not for the

a and shift+a for arm and un arm, s + shift s for solo and

shift s for mute and un mute and the right and left arrow keys

Wouldn't worry about overwriting the default bindings.
because it's
<br>
widely acknowledged that they suck anyway. There are tons of
forum
<br>
threads about it. It seems like one of the first things
sighted Reaper
<br>
users do once they start trying to improve upon their
productivity is
<br>
build their own keymap. I haven't yet heard of a case where
such a
<br>
sighted power user transitions over to using Reaper with a
screen
<br>
reader and starts screaming blue murder about their keymap
being
<br>
munched.
<br>
<br>
Personally, I'd vote we hash out a keymap on here however
the heck
<br>
that could be done productively and work toward that
automated
<br>
install. That way, if anybody has a little more work to do,
it's the
<br>
power users instead of the people picking Reaper up for the
first
<br>
time. Smoother entry for the newbies, and less support.

My apologies for being unclear. You're correct; it does.
What I meant is
<br>
that (assuming I'm not incorrect) you have two options:
override the
<br>
keymap *completely* or don't install it at all. That is,
if you've made
<br>
changes before installing it, you can't keep those changes
while also
<br>
installing the ReaAccess keymap.
