Hiya, not mad about Mac. Got one. Will do.
Keyboard shortcuts that come up in SHIFT ? helper sometimes indicate keys should be used that simply don't exist on my MacBook Pro.
CMD ALT and PGDN for example. Stupid frikken Mac has few standard page navigation keys.

Cmd is equivalent to ye old Apple key (squiggly square icon button next to the space bar), alt is the option key, and as for pg down or anything else you can just change the key binding in the action menu. It's not that mac doesn't have "standard" navigation keys, it just doesn't use Windows standards. They've been doing their own thing for quite a while now, and most of it has been established. Try messing with cmd/alt key and arrow combinations in your favorite aps. (cmd + up arrow/down arrow for instance). It's all pretty intuitive. As far as reaper goes though, I just assign whatever key makes the most sense to me to often-used functions.

The main reason I never made the switch. Too many killer freebies available for windoze.
