Am I the only one? Fat-fingers and screensets ...

I never see comments on this kind of thing, but surely I'm not the only one who hits a wrong key (I use F5 for "go to time" and sometimes I miss and hit F6 ... ) followed by a rapidly typed number, and have to watch screensets flash until all the digits are used  ... and then little irritating things get changed when you get back to the desired screenset.    Please please do away with fixed number key assignments for screensets.     Latest little irritaing thing related to unwanted screenset changes:   Event List view preferences disappear when changing screensets and returning ...

    IIRC, you mentioned in a previous thread that assigning the number keys to "Do Nothing" in key bindings did not work for you. It works here, so I think you should give it another go.

    I thought we could un-assign every keyboard shortcut, but I can't suss out how...

    Any clues?
     
    I'd remove almost every one.

    Preferences > Customization > Keyboard Shortcuts
     
    In the Search field under Area: Global Bindings, type "nothing".
     
    Sonar will show you the 'Do Nothing' action to which you can bind any default keyboard shortcut to disable it.

    Just have to say: having to set "Do Nothing" is not that impressive an option, even if it works now.   There is an "unbind" thing, which should do the trick but doesn't.

    Yeah, William, that's what threw me 
     
    I guess it's in the 2000 page manual somewhere, although I've read the section on keyboard shortcuts and nothing is mentioned in there, and searching for "do nothing" or "nothing" brings up, erm... nothing.
     
    Ah well... Thank goodness for our forum eh

    Unbind is for breaking custom bindings made in the Keyboard Shortcuts screen. The "Do Nothing" function is available to turn off predefined shortcuts. Of course, predefined shortcuts could be reassigned to do something other than their default actions too.

    Somehow I keep hitting the key to bypass the effects bin. Very useless and irritating, to have all of the effects made null.
     
    I fooled around with making the relevant keys in preferences to be "do nothing" but no luck.
     
    Could be I need to "zap all" and then put back in the few I use and need.
     
    Small irritation but would be nice to make it all go away.
     
    Good luck!

    Oh yeah I forgot to add, the double click turning into loop construction view drives me crazy. How do you turn this one off?

    That one is not in preferences, it's in "options" (go figure).  In the track view, Options, Click Behavior, double click, audio clips.

    OK!
     
    Thanks
     
    I will try and build it into the blank projects file so it is always the way I want.
