Ok here it is finally! Basically, I have mapped out MOST of the Edit Window keyboard focus commands to work exactly the same. Some things are going to be different because it's a different program, but it's an awful lot closer than most other DAWs will let you get.
Important: I never use MIDI in Pro Tools and rarely in Reaper, so there are going to be differences there, and I don't really care.
Easy Install:
OS X
Windows
To use the easy install version, first download REAPER from http://www.reaper.fm and install it as usual. Then just unzip this file anywhere on your hard drive and copy reaper.app or reaper.exe into this new folder and run it from within there in order for REAPER to boot up with all custom preferences in place.
For those that prefer to do things the hard way here is the original archive with just the preferences files:
Requires REAPER 3.45+ and SWS Extensions v1.7.2 # 8

Here are 6 short videos explaining my preferences so you can set yours up to match:

People really shrug Reaper off a lot but it is extremely powerful and I am more than likely going to be able to help you do anything you need.
