Shorcuts are very important things when you use software. They help to improve and speed up work.
Some shortcuts are standard shortcuts, like New, Open, Save, Cut, Copy, Paste, Select all,...
Shortcuts in REAPER can control all functions (almost...), and all can be configured.
You can use initial shortcut of REAPER but...
- Someone who works with only audio doesn't work like someone who works with only MIDI.
- Someone who works with audio recording doesn't work like someone who works with audio loop samples.
- A left-handed person may not work like a right-handed person...
Here I tell you where you can changed shortcuts, and what shortcuts I use, and why.
To change shortcuts :
In Action window, search an expression like "play" with "Filter" to find an actions.
At the bottom of the window, you can Add or Delete shortcuts.
To find an existing shortcut, click on "Find shortcut..." button and type press your key.
Just few personnal shortcuts, not Reaper default shortcuts...
There are shortcuts for french AZERTY keyboard... perhaps you must change them for your keyboard.
These shortcuts have been chosen for my use, for "Items" navigation and move, "MIDI Editor"
functions,...
