"Edit Filter" is probably the best way to define it because it's near universal, using a visual highlighted range as an edit filter, that whatever edit is being performed only happens in the highlighted range(s).

Not that Reaper actually *needs* it as a literal thing to edit efficiently, we all know better than that. More that, as much as anything else, it's a common and recognized standard of sorts across just about every kind of software application that edits objects on screen and only a few apps ever deviated from it.

It just happened to be the case that Reaper was initially modeled after one of those few who deviated from it, Vegas.
