I think you misunderstood me a little bit. I never wanted to communicate that the actual solution is shitty or something like that. Just that it's a solution for the hardliners who really want all of their shortcuts work this way and use shortcuts heavily. But for the medium to light shortcut-user it's a lot of work with an unknown outcome. I mean - I am not sure if I would use it that often. But for REAPER IMHO it's nonetheless a killer feature.

I deleted all of my shortcuts started from scratch and have about 200 that work extremely well for me and are prioritized with simplest keystrokes being the most common actions. I highly recommend it

+1 !
A few compatible ideas:
keycommand files available per screenset (switching to a screenset activates its keymap)
an option (an easy to access checkbox?) so a "sub-keycommand set" stays active until another set is activated or until closing the window.
using keycommands to toggle between many keycommand files.

Is there a thread for Autohotkeys?
Does someone have a link?
Thanks

LOVE it.
Just discovering how useful repo's are outside of kodi - my first fork may address any outstanding FR's ^^^ - love your ideas, beginning to implement...
grabbed vimper master, about to test run and see what's remaining, re what remains...

Hey, I've been busy for a while with holiday stuff etc. I'm not sure how much more I will be working on vimper, since it works quite well for me so far. But I am definitely open to suggestions for improvements, if they don't require too much work(vimper itself is very small so far). I also welcome pull requests if others have ideas and ability to implement them.

The interface or the lack of any. Yeah, I know. Text files and scripts are very powerful and can be elegant but this isn't a Linux system admin forum. I understand (partly) how vimper works but to just set up some new short-cuts, e.g. to integrate BBPlay/Stop+, it's not only about adding one new line. And this tasks shouldn't take time or any thinking - like adding a new short-cut in the actionslist.
Don't get me wrong. My biggest respect for this work. But IMHO the FR is still relevant.

Your first issue can be solved by creating a default vimper keymap that has all the original shortcuts. It's not a very fun job, but if someone does that I'll definitely include it in the github repository.
Regarding the interface, I am well aware it might not be that user friendly at the moment for some audiences, but the fact is unfortunately that I don't have the time to create something better. A large part of it is that it's quite hard to figure out what that interface might look like, and a bad GUI is way worse than an inconvenient text file, imo.
Either way, that potential GUI should parse and generate the current config format anyway(which is easy since it's lua, and can be parsed by just executing it, if the GUI is also written in Lua, or embeds a lua interpreter). This can be done by anyone with the skills. I welcome anyone to write this, if they have the interest and time.
I have created a vimper specific thread to stop hijacking this one(sorry), http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=1790809
Maybe mods can move the vimper related discussion from here to there.

There just should be more smart tools from the get go.

I see people talk how much they use the keyboard short cuts, I find them of limited use, I can only use them when I'm in track view if I have the mixer view active they do nothing.
Is this reaper or my keyboard.

Shortcuts work fine for me when the mixer is in the foreground.
There is an action called "SWS/BR: Focus arrange" if you have SWS installed. If you find that a shortcut doesn't work when the mixer is in front, then create a custom action with "SWS/BR: Focus arrange" then the action you want.
What specifically are you trying to do that doesn't work when the mixer is up front?

I still wish there were sequential keypress shortcuts -- when you press a key and then another key to complete the shortcut. This thread has other useful ideas, too. Bumping up in hope to get some acknowledgement of the importance of introducing these (far from novel) shortcut techniques to Reaper.

Scripts can do it easily - my Radial Menu can be set up to behave that way if you want.

Can you please point out where it's done in your Radial Menu script? You've definitely put a lot of work into this project.

I second that. Plus, AHK is a Windows only program. That's great for the kids messing around with REAPER at home, but 90% of professional audio engineers are on Macs, and with Apple getting worse with every new OS and product release, the majority of that market will be moving to Linux once Cockos writes a wrapper that allows plugins designed for Window and macOS to run under Linux. After using a *nix system, switching to something like Windows is an untenable option. I tried it. Windows is a mess that just keeps getting messier. Need twice as much hardware and money to get the same amount of work done.
I'm surprised this thread is so old and this simple feature hasn't been implemented yet. I tried adding my 2¢ on the Issue Tracker thread, but apparently the forums will not allow that. So here is my support for this essential feature request:
Adding my concurrence to this brilliant idea. This is especially an issue with Apple only offering miniaturized keyboards that lack essential keys like home, end, page up, page down, and a num pad. This is a "must have" feature for those of us on laptops. The keyboard shortcuts run out very quickly, making much of what makes REAPER the most powerful and efficient DAW in the industry inaccessible.
Thank you, Dark Star, for championing this great idea. Seems like an easy implementation, too.
Are the god-like devs at Cockos listening? We love you! Please hear our prayers! Do we need to offer a sacrifice? :-D

Bump.
I wish I could make any key a modifier, not just Shift, Ctrl or Alt.

Using AutoHotkey you can disable the Windows key and use it in Reaper.
https://www.autohotkey.com/
I have tons of Win key shortcuts in Reaper.
Make a file "disable windows key.ahk" with this.
LWin & vk07::return
LWin::return
RWin & vk07::return
RWin::return
There is also the registry scripts.

I realize this is a year late - sorry.
In the Radial Menu Setup script:
- Set it to stay open until you perform an action (Options tab)
- Assign shortcut keys to the menu buttons (Global tab, IIRC)
Then all of your commands and submenus are accessible with sequential keypresses.

Thanks! I use AutoHotkey but I also do use default Win shortcuts a lot (like Win-R). Also I've got a lot of custom Win shortcuts to start applications. Is there a way to disable the Win key only when Reaper is focused?

Thanks! Will try. What I meant was I looked through the source code but it's long and I don't know the language. Can you please point out the actual part of your script that tracks keyboard input? Provided, of course, you don't mind a little reverse engineering on my part.

not that I know of. I just have it turned off and dedicated to Reaper.

The code is messy enough that unfortunately I can't.

Yes - the following should disable the the win key ONLY in Reaper
Code:
#IfWinActive REAPER
LWin & vk07::return
LWin::return
RWin & vk07::return
RWin::return
#IfWinActive

You can use other keys https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm#combo
Code:
` & q::your command here
