Mouse Only Menus? Really? (duplicate, please ignore)
Has anyone figured out how to access the menus at the top of the Track View without using a mouse? Apparently, the menus will not bind to keyboard shortcuts, the items in them will, but that is too many items to remember! Frustrated! James

I know it's the holiday season, but I think you are supposed to CHECK your list twice, not CREATE it twice.

I was trying to feel bad about being a jerk... but it just wasn't happening.
How can you effectively use such a complex program without an HID?

Well - I answered a bit in the other thread. He is referring to the Track Pane sub-menu drop downs, and there does not seem a way to get to those without clicking.
I am a clicker - I learn shortcuts after awhile, but only for what I do frequently.
It is kind of funny, there are underlined characters for the drop down menu options, just not a way to get to the drop downs without the mouse.

Hi all,
Thanks Bob, for looking closely enough to see my problem. If no one else comes up with a miracle answer in a day or two then I'll just make it a feature request and keep my fingers crossed.
I like using a keyboard for whatever I can use it for. I went blind for awhile and really got used to a keyboard. Now that I have recovered my sight, I still prefer it. For me, this question is a matter of principle (lol) You shouldn't hide things in an interface when you don't have to. I would imagine the product group could easily add these menus to the keyboard shortcut list if they wanted to, and that would avoid the focus issue. I will survive till then, however.
James
PS: Sorry 'bout the duplicate thread! IE9 hangs when I post to this forum, complaining that cakewalk.com is not responding. So thinking I had failed to post... I'm trying with Chrome this time, wish me luck!

I would suggest you edit the Title of this thread to indicate something like 'Ignore - Duplicate'.
