+|===
+|
+`grpc:://localhost:39051` +
+`grpc:://127.0.0.1:39051`
+|
+Connects to the plug-in running on the same machine, assuming a xref:configuration-files.adoc#realearn-ini[standard server configuration] (`server_grpc_port=39051`).
+
+This is the default if the connection option is omitted.

+`grpc:://winpc:39051` +
+`grpc:://192.168.1.47:39051`
+|
+Connects to the plug-in running on the machine with the host name `winpc` or the IP address 192.168.1.47.
+|===
+
+--location::
+Path that decides which page is shown initially.
+
+This is not a file system path. It's comparable to the path of a URL that you would see in a web browser's address bar.

+Opens the xref:playtime::user-interface.adoc[Playtime] page for the xref:key-concepts.adoc#instance[] with xref:key-concepts.adoc#instance-id[] *3*.
+
+Numbers are always interpreted as instance IDs and strings as instance keys. Normally, you want to use an xref:key-concepts.adoc#instance-key[instance key] to refer to the desired instance, because instance IDs are likely to change after restarting REAPER.

+[TIP]
+====
+**Normal REAPER's keyboard shortcuts are generally disabled when the app is focused!**
+
+This prevents conflicts and ensures flexibility for adding more app shortcuts in the future.
+
+If you want to use a certain REAPER shortcut while the app is focused, you must make it global:
+
+. Open menu:Actions[Show action list...]
+. Press btn:[Find shortcut...]
+. Press the shortcut key
+
+The action list should jump to the action mapped to that key.
+. Double-click the desired shortcut in the "Shortcuts for selected action" list
+. Change the property "Scope" to **Global**
+. Press btn:[OK]
