So I swapped the ridiculous key bind of the "stop" button and "metronome click" almost at the start of learning to use Reason, and I'd love to change some more, but ones in the rightclick context menus, like reset device to init patch and such, but thought it can't be done exactly for that reason - they are out of immediate view.

But then I saw this:

Sooo..... how is this done? And is there a way to edit commands such as these:

and getting a little ahead of myself, what if I wanted them to open and close with the same button - would that be possible?

I'm on windows 10. Thanks!

On macOS you can edit keyboard shortcuts for any application's menu items under System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts. I'm not sure if there is something similar built into Windows?

But yes, at least on macOS you can assign the command to work for two actions. For instance, I assigned ⌘F for both 'Enter Full Screen' and 'Exit Full Screen'. And I changed 'Create Effect..' (which I don't use and was previously ⌘F) to [Shift]+⌘F. So if there is a solution for Windows, perhaps it will work the same? If not built in like macOS, maybe there is third party software that can do it?

Thanks man. Looking into it, although I'm halfway sure it's just mac by now. And for letting me know about the apple mouse/arc mouse solution in that other thread. Even though it got me pissed off because it's so completely backwards, but at least it's that. Thanks again.
