Another great tip from Forum user "Youn"
Study this carefully. I'm holding down "Shift+Alt+C" and pressing the left mouse button where the yellow "flash" appears.

I defined a hotkey (Alt+Shift+M) to do:
Set end of Loop Tempo Marker Measure from loop selection Set beginning of Loop
That way, I can position my cursor, tab to transient, mark the beginning of the first measure/loop manually, then...
Begin
Click right before end of measure Tab to transient Alt-Shift-M
Rinse, repeat
Seems to work pretty well. If we had more than three actions, we could add the tab-to-transient action, but I'm not sure that would be what you want...sometimes you have to tab more than once to get to the correct transient.

Comment by forum user "Youn":
sstillwell, that gave me an idea, check it out:
Create/Modify some keyboard shortcuts _______________________________________
1) Create a new one like your suggestion, but use 'Z' instead:
Alt+Shift+Z - Loop Selection: Set end Point - Markers: Time signature measure from loop selection - Loop Selection: Set start point
2) Modify "Tab" to this key combo: Shift+Alt+X
Now, the fun part, mapping it out:
_______________________________________
1) Now record an audio "click" track by tapping the tempo.
2) Select that track, then, starting at the begining, hold down Shift+Alt and alternate pressing X and Z...
