I see there is a lot of info on various setups for cutting and pasting.
The issue I'm having is that out of the blue Reaper refuses to paste my selection from the clipboard to the exact spot designated by the cursor. Instead Reaper always pastes the selection at the end of my project. This happens whether the yellow "region" bar is highlighted or not.
How the hell do I set Reaper up for a standard/simple cut and paste without downloaded more worthless extensions for shortcuts and features that I will never use (and that will ultimately only change my menu config).
