I normally select a time region before inserting midi, but sometimes I need to extend the midi region. When I drag the right side to extend it always creates a loop. I know it's probably a simple setting but I can't find it.
Reaper extend midi without looping?

you need to double click the midi item and inside the midi editor, grab a bar at the end of the clip and drag it out to extend where the "End" point is.
It's hyper-gay.

^ Nice 
the "gay"ness im referring to is that this basic functionality of extending vs looping is kinda split up and packed away in two different windows.
From what i remember of Logic, if you wanted to extend the item, you just click and drag on its edge, if you want to loop then you hold a modifier key while dragging. all super easy and quick.
Reaper kind makes you dance back and over between 3 windows to sort that stuff out.

Yeah, that is quite annoying. But like I just found out, it takes just 2 clicks to fix (Right click -> Item settings (submenu) -> Loop item source).
If you want this to be the default behaviour just go to "Preferences" (Ctrl+P), select "Defaults" (left menu) and uncheck "Loop source for imported items" and "Loop source for new MIDI items".
If you want to make a shortcut for this just find "Item Properties: Loop item source" on the Actions menu and set a shortcut for it.

AHA! I knew it was something simple like this but hadn't figured it out yet. I always just grabbed the handle and dragged it out as far as I needed to. Thanks!

Thanks to all of you, I was searching some clues about this before finishing here, every road leads to UMF ^^
