Default OSX 10.9.1 keyboard does nothing

Macbook Pro, 10.9.1, Reaper 462.
Some of my keyboard shortcuts no longer work. The big one is the Control/click does nothing. Any help?

In Preferences/Editing Behavior/Mouse there's a checkbox for 'control + left click emulates right click'.

This seems backwards but basically you have to enable right click (control-click) in Reaper or it will instead make the control key available for other things. Maybe this got unchecked?

Strange , I have never checked a box like that . It has always just worked . In fact, every program I have ever used has this behavior . I will try this later. Hmmm.... A mystery for sure.

Well, that did it. Thanks for the fix.

Yeah, it's very confusingly worded. You'd expect checking the box would disable control-click menus rather than needing to check the box to enable them. As you said, just about ever app I've ever used has contextual menus that you access with control-click (with right-click being the default shortcut for control-click).

Reaper lets you re-purpose this key for additional keyboard shortcuts (just in case shift, option, command, & combinations of them aren't enough). I mistakenly unchecked this a while back too thinking 'hmmm, more shortcuts sounds good' until I realized it disabled access to right-click menus.
