Maybe that's enabled on your side ?
If so, you must assign shortcuts to "Main (alt recording)" section in action list and not "Main" for them to work during recording.

Brilliantly Correct!
BTW, is there a way to use the Windows Key to create shortcuts? I saw that in a post while researching this, and didn't figure it out. Not that I necessarily need it, but I hate changing Reaper original shortcuts if I don't have to, since I'm not quite familiar with the program and probably will read or watch tutorials that include them at some point.
Also, I'm not sure how mouse modifiers and actions interact, especially where there may be a toggle (an on/off state). For instance, I tried creating a shortcut to toggle an action to allow inserting a MIDI note by a simple left click. I had already run the action - which worked. I would have thought then, based on the word on/off at the far right of the action item line, that a hotkey assigned to that action would then act as a simple toggle the state. It doesn't work. Then I realized it controls a left-click mouse modifier - since for some reason hitting the shortcut doesn't toggle it on and off, is that due in some way to a setting in the mouse modifier section of preferences?
The only way I have been able to figure out how to use the shortcut, is to toggle the state on with the shortcut, then off by going into Prefs/Mouse Mod/ and turning the state to "no action" or one of the other states.
I do not see an action that acts as the "toggle off".
