I used SWS dummy toggle 1, but I guess it doesn't matter which of the dummy toggles you use?Д«ut strictly speaking, a toggle loop button or key command does not really help much in Reaper because of the counterintuitive manner in which midi loops are handled.

Thanks for the tip! I tried it, but the button still does not show the loop status. I've not yet got my head around posting such things to the Reaper stash but I clearly should do I haven't uploaded the action and it's on a different machine, but let me know if anyone wants to see it. IMO this is arguably as easy or easier than a keyboard modifier as you don't have to keep reaching for the keyboard every time you want to extend an item.ДЄnd you can easily see at a glance which mode you're in by whether or not the button is illuminated.

NOTE if you assigne the keyboard shortcut directly to the original action, then you easily get the button out of sync with the status but if you do as above, then the button will switch on and off with the keyboard shortcut too. I then assigned both the toolbar button I created AND a keyboard shortcut to my custom cycle action.

However - the beauty of what Reaper is good at, means that I have been able to make a little cycle action which includes the 'Item properties: Loop item source' plus a 'dummy toggle' (sws action). Yeah I agree that the default behaviour is not very intuitive and either a key modifier or a button on the tool bar should be there by default. Why can't the item source length be changed directly in the arrange? If you have a looped 1 bar Midi item and want to make it two bars long, you have to erase all loops by moving the end of the item left to the end of the item source, switch off looping in item properties, extend the item to two bars, switch on looping again and drag the right edge of the item to othe right to loop it - five steps for such a basic task! A much quicker and more intuitive way to do this is to drag the item source end marker in the Midi editor or on the inline Midi editor, but I am not sure many people even know this because it is just a thin line that is hidden in the editors, and it is not mentioned in the manual. Reaper is so (over-)sophisticated in many respects, but at the same time there are some DAW basics where it just feels lagging. I indeed wonder why devs just don't have a look at the more basic DAW stuff to refine/implement such like this whole loop source debate. And even as it has evolved into a much more mature and useful product, I think its origins as being built upon the kind of program it was dictates a bit of why, even with its updates, it doesn't totally satisfy some of us.Д«ut I think people like us are in it because such a responsive developer and great community with a DAW that fits that description is a hundred times better than our nearly ideal DAW with an absent developer and lame/no community! More like here's a great recording program that can be customized for the user needs that are on our radar, of the users we envision working the way we do. It's come a long, long way in satisfying a range of users but it seems that it wasn't originally designed with real world recording studio recording experience behind it, or a desire to identify those needs and fulfill them. When I listened to an interview with Justin maybe almost a decade ago he was asked about how he himself uses Reaper, and his response was a real 'Ohhh, now I get why' moment for me. I find myself constantly programming workarounds with Custom Actions, which i quite like, but then again, most functionality for these Custom Actions should be just natively available in Reaper, in a logic and apparent way (place). I am addicted to creating superfast workflows in Reaper with Custom Actions which ommits any timeconsuming mousedragging.ДЄnd this is why i love Reaper so much: it let's me feed that addictionД«een using Reaper for more than 10 years now and while being mostly quite happy with it, i indeed wonder why devs just don't have a look at the more basic DAW stuff to refine/implement such like this whole loop source debate. The lengthening / 'looped lenghtening will be snapped to 1/1 These 2 Custom Actions are Snap dependent.Д®xample: You have Snap set to ON and Grid set to 1/1. Outcome: The selected Item will lengthened or 'looped' lengthened to that time position. Place your mousepointer (in Arrange or ruler) on a certain time position

If you are interested in super fast workflows (no mouse dragging needed!) regarding:ДЄ) Extending an Item's Length to time position where mouse is pointing on.Д«) Looping an Item to time position where mouse is pointing onД¬heck these 2 Custom Actions i made, download them and import both in Reaper Action List, then assign custom shortcuts to them:
