Whats Your Favourite Shortcuts?

Just wondering what everyones favourite shortcuts are in sonar, once you find a gem you find yourself using it all the time. I have found this one and love it

Select any clip, hold shift and press spacebar. It will only play the selected clip.

Anyone else got any?

    With a limited amount of cpu available matched with an desire for an unlimited amount of tracks, I use cntrl-F and cntrl-U to freeze and unfreeze the tracks all the time.

    Highlight tracks, position cursor in the Time bar above, hit S, then delete.

    LOVE it... Use it a LOT with the voiceover work I'm doing lately.

    My own customs ones:
    - "v" to bring up and to close Synth Rack View
    - "x" to bring up loop explorer
    - "q" to bring up quantize window
    -I also customized the left and right arrows on keyboard to mover to next marker. This is how I like it :)

    Control S of course as in most programs for save
    Control Z (undo), and Control shift Z(redo)
    simply push r to record
    space bar to play duh.... lol

    Another 2 things that arent actually shortcuts that Rico (eikelbijter) taught me recently that made my life so much easier sometimes.

    1. a: highlight any tracks that I want to change to the same input or output
    b: Click tracks->properties->select inputs, outputs or whatever I want to change simultaneously
    c: select the input, ouput, or whatever to change to.
    d: Press OK - Volia! I just changed 12 track to the same iput(or whatever Im changing) at the same time without going to each!
    I use the same input to record in to my project, so this helps if the tracks are on the wrong input!

    2. When editing midi, if I want to lower equally the volume of many notes without drawing them:
    a: Hit C to remove cotrol pane window
    b: Select draw(I have d shortcut for draw)
    c: Put pencil above the middle of a one of the seslected notes for volume change and drop down just above
    it slowly until a bunch of lines appear to the right of the pencil
    d: Voila! - left click and drag up or down to change volume of all the selcted clips at the same time equally!

    Ok Im done. Woke up at 2, this was my wake up session :) Hope mine help somebody!

    I think you mean, R.....spacebar, CTRL+Z, CTRL+PG UP (back to last marker), R.....spacebar, CTRL+Z, CTRL+PG UP (back to last marker), R.......
    I do this with the monitor off because I don't have a flat-panel and the monitor makes hum in my guitar. So I make the marker, arm the tracks, and finish the take with no video monitor. It's pretty funny. Sometimes I'm not sure if I did it right though, and I have to turn on the monitor to see lol.
