Customize Smart Tool
I'd imagine this has probably been brought up before, but a way to customize what the smart tool does and doesn't do. For example, I never really use the comping part of it, so to free up those pixels in which i can click to just simply drag edit, and keep the top for fades... Would be perfecto. Because a lot of times I miss the middle 1/3rd of the track and I'm just slightly below in the comping area and poof, all my other clips in that track are muted. For my work flow, it would be better if comping was just taken out of the Smart Tool equation.
thanks.

Absolutely! Yes, been wanting this a while. Sometimes the Smart Tool can be slightly too smart. I'd like the option of dumbing it down, such as disabling its tendency to Speed Comp.

In the mean time, maybe you could set up some key bindings for quick tool selection. For example, I have z, x, c set up for Smart, Select, Move like this: 
Bob -- Angels are crying because truth has died ...Illegitimi non carborundum --Studio One Pro / i7-6700@3.80GHZ, 32GB Win 10 Pro x64 Roland FA06, LX61+, Fishman Tripleplay, FaderPort, US-16x08 + ARC2.5/Event PS8s Waves Gold/IKM Max/Nomad Factory IS3/K11U

In Sonar X3 the function keys F5-F7 are already set to do this by default. Is that no longer the case in the current version?

I have no idea. There were no assignments for them when I looked. I will say that z-x-c is a lot easier for me to reach for quickly than F keys are though

Yes, you can use the Search field before posting (but make sure you change the duration in the Time Filter drop-down from "30 days" to "365 days" beforehand). http://forum.cakewalk.com/Custom-Smart-Tool-m3213535.aspx One request receiving 10 votes is probably better than two same requests with each receiving 5 votes.

I'm told I look like a Japanese woman playing a Koto.
I have my right hand on the mousepad, I then have to raise myself a little to reach over my right hand and then hit the approproate F-key.
Sonar 8.5 uses the E, D and S keys - directly under your left hand.

I did not know that. I was actually referring to the mousepad on my mobile rig, but I am using your tip now on my main rig where I have a trackball. Excellent, thanks!
