are you tired of your pasted items ending up all over the arrange page with neither rhyme nor reason?

I was too. Then I made this, and now I am a happy camper.

It is a macro for ctrl+v paste, and this is how it works:

select items (any items even across tracks) and copy: ctrl+c

move the edit cursor to where you want to paste them and press crtl+v (in the back ground, reaper looks at the tracks the items are on and selects only those tracks, then it takes the topmost and sets that to last touched. Now when the paste command comes, the items land in the right spots).

If, after copying (ctrl+c) you remove the item focus and click on any track, then the items paste from that track - as they should. (that sounds confusing, but trust me it is killer)

If you select a track on the tcp and press ctrl+c and then ctrl+v then the track is duplicated as you would expect.

I have yet to find the caveat with this command. I wish this was how reaper worked natively as our mac friends are hooped.

-it shows the ctrl+d duplicate macro in action too.
