Say you've got a console with lots of channels...is there a keyboard shortcut to jump a screens worth of channels instead of dragging with the mouse?
 
Thanks,

Yes I've got full screen console, but I'd like to be able to jump between channels instead of click/drag with the mouse.  I usually have my drums on the left and vox way out on the right...maybe starting at track 20 or something out there pretty far.  Any quick way to jump way to the right side without picking up the mouse?

I just took a look at the keyboard shortcuts documentation and didn't see anything like that. But I'm pretty sure you could do it with screensets.

grooveys got the idea....set it up how you like it. then create a screenset, set it up again the other way, create another screenset. 
then just use the screenset shortcut.
 
screensets are one of the best things in sonar in my opinion. it cuts set up times in 1/2 + some.
I import mine from project to project to save time during set up.

Or if you want them always the same, set them up in your normal template. That's what I've done ... only I forget that I have them and end up using the mouse anyway!

Sorry to lead you astray ... I just tried it and it doesn't appear to work. The scroll position doesn't seem to be saved as part of the screenset ... at least not for me.

Yup ... don't know if I'm doing something wrong, of if it just can't be done.

I don't think this is possible without a controller that allows "Banking".
 
I can use my Mackie Controller to Bank (Move) 8 channels at a time.  This allows me to get to channel 23 by pressing the bank button twice and seeing channel in Sonar and on the Mackie Controller.  seeing channels further down is done by pressing the bank button until I get to the group of 8 channels that contain the track number I want.
