Well, you appear to have a background familiar with the editing capabilities of Protools. I, like many others here have similar experience. In fact, various forms of improved editing performance are discussed regularly here by others such as Airon, Shan and Plush2.
Some of that development is being pursued at the OSX forum:
http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.p...400#post435400
and many Elevated Feature Requests exist as a result of topics on this forum
such as Selection Cursor, and more generally, those mentioned at Post Production Feature Requests:

Basically, if you are a professional editor, you know that less steps makes for greater accomplishments.
Reaper started out with very little emphasis upon audio editing. Improvements have followed, but one must consider the broad user base here with regard to feature request priorities. The very path of design which prompted the user to employ an external editor is what has led to developments such as Reawave.
Be that as it may, it does lead to unique solutions. For example, Ben at the Question and Answer forum just showed me how to turn off Ripple Edit at startup on Reawave (by editing the custom action). This could be a great place to try other custom actions such as those you have just suggested in this thread.
What Reawave does accomplish is the splitting of a time selection and giving an exploded view of that time selection to work within.
Having other KeyMaps loaded (such as Robert Millord's Protools Keys):

allow fast PT keyboard shortcuts to be executed in both the Reaper project and it's respective Reawave project template. Hopefully, this will also lead to further tools (such as Shan's custom cursors) to come into further use.
To summarize, I'm optimistic about the editing future of Reaper, however it might develop.
