Depending on the currently selected page, more keyboard shortcuts are available:

Normal REAPER’s keyboard shortcuts are generally disabled when the app is focused!

This prevents conflicts and ensures flexibility for adding more app shortcuts in the future.

If you want to use a certain REAPER shortcut while the app is focused, you must make it global:

  1. Open Actions  Show action list…​

  2. Press Find shortcut…​

  3. Press the shortcut key

    The action list should jump to the action mapped to that key.

  4. Double-click the desired shortcut in the "Shortcuts for selected action" list

  5. Change the property "Scope" to Global

  6. Press OK
