Hello danny, I think you should start working through the audio ins and outs. The members of the class who used Jaws still needed OSARA a as it installs a keymap that otherwise essential elements are very difficult to get to or not accessible at all. You also need the SWS plug-in again bringing more access.
You do know you can create a shortcut manually, just use the applications key. I only suggested the OSARA installation as it would have verified a Reaper install.
