Hi guys, something about sonar 8.5 | sounds

When you say "without a mouse" do you mean using the computer keyboard instead?
 
If keyboard shortcuts are what you're after, what have you found so far in the drop-down menus?  (I'm not in front of my DAW right now, and I cannot picture Sonar's drop-down menus in my head.)
 
Windows shortcuts are either spelled out in the menu, like Ctrl + C for copy, or the letter you need to combine with Ctrl is shown, like Copy.  I just discovered that Win7 (with their ribbon toolbars) will populate the screen, once you press Alt, with boxes indicating what other key to hit.
 
There is always the possibility that what you are trying to accomplish cannot be done.
 
I hope this helps,
Jim
