I'd love to have midi device related shortcuts in the action list. At the moment it doesn't matter which midi device triggers the shortcut but in many situations it can be of advantage to trigger actions not just by a defined midi channel and note but also just by a defined device. I use an elgato stream deck to trigger different actions via midi notes. Playing on my midi keyboard also triggers these actions...
Im not in front of Reaper at the moment, but I believe actions triggers can be set to specific midi channels as well as CCs. If you set your devices to each transmit on a specific channel, wouldn’t that give you the specificity you’re looking for?
It might also have advantages in other Reaper tasks, too, such as having a specific device control a particular vst instrument or track.

Find the action you are interested in, assign it, very simple. If you can not find anything you like, you can not assign.
I don't think so. Realearn works track based as far as I know. I want to do midi shortcuts in the action list. global for all projects.
Not track based at all. While of course you pop the plugin itself on a track (how else), the triggers and actions are working projectwide. Just save your settings as a preset and re-open them as you like.

Then probably you did not push it to its limits. First I thought wonderful, even with json export, import, has potential for more, then after those crashes I stopped using it. At least for my plans it was not compatible. But now thanks to mespotines us api there will be in future something which can plug the project to your hardware and not the opposite. Much more fun, turning any reaper project, with one button into a groovebox, kind of. Removing the boring automation work entirely. Welcome to the multi groovebox world of Reaper or to tomorrow.

From what I understand, the possibilities are insane - but has anyone developed anything groundbreaking with it?

Depends on the users, only a question of time. Groundbreaking, is not a must, but it has to work, that is a must. No matter how tiny the improvement, it has to work, always.
You could ask also Anton9, maybe he did already anything?
I agree that having to use a special midi channel to isolate midi commands to the action list feels like a workaround. Adding an option to make the actions device-specific would add a very useful level of precision.
It's really a limitation that you cannot specify which device, only what channel action-shortcuts should react to.
I have a Korg NANOCONTROL2 - it has eight sliders - it sends each slider on a separate channel, so it needs 8 channels to function. If action-shortcuts could be filtered pr. device, I could easily use it with REAPER
I hit this limit while setting up a live show in Reaper. In the meantime, I'm using ReaLearn, but I think that would be a good addition to native Reaper.

No, realearn can work globally - put it in your monitor FX chain, and will not be project-specific, but simply always be there. ReaLearn IS the answer to your original question: How to filter midi pr. device, not just pr. channel, and then use it to control stuff
