Keyboard stroke control within Piano Roll View and Notation Editing.

This is a re-post of what I 've written in the Sonar Forum where everyone discussed their ideas and wish list.  Here is mine:

~ I am all for efficiency and productivity.  Keyboard strokes sometimes are faster than mouse click.  Following are my suggestions.

Within piano roll view-

TAB keyboard button for automatically high/select the note/event in the piano roll view, going to next note by pressing TAB again.  Shift+TAB for going back to the previous note. 

> button for increasing the highlighted note length and < button for decreasing.

P + up arrow button move highlighted note to higher pitch.  P+down arrow move highlighted note to lower pitch.

V + up arrow/down arrow button increase or decrease highlighted note's velocity value.

B + left arrow/right arrow button to shift highlighted note beat position values.


~ Similar keystroke for Notation editing also as another user has suggested in original post.

That's my suggestion wish list.  I find the so call smart tools tedious and clumsy.  Right click open note value manual is not productive enough.  Please consider this Cakewalk.

    Keys 8 and 2 on the numeric keypad already do this.

    More than odd. It was the OP who gave the negative vote.

    True. But I'm still wondering what a negative vote is meant to represent in this case. It's puzzling.

    Dunno. Maybe the OP needs to enlighten us.

    Wow, so sorry Kev999.  I meant to vote up and did not realize my sloppy mouse click.  I've never checked for new updates until now and only to realized such drama from my vote.  I sincerely apologize for the mistake but unfortunately it won't let me re-vote again.

    Thanks for the explanation, but no need for an apology. I wasn't offended, just baffled.

    Your idea about tabbing from note to note seems intriguing. However I am not convinced that some of your suggested key combinations would work, as they would conflict with existing key assignments.
