Shortcuts in REAPER

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.
