In keyboard shorcuts, under the Console View category, there are Move To Next Strips Page and Move To Previous Strips Page, which can be bound to keys. That's the good news.
 
The bad news is that for some reason, while it does move the track focus, it doesn't scroll the view. Maybe it's a bug? I don't know.
 
I guess this is one for the feature suggestion (or repair) box.

This is one reason I love proTools groups, and (dare I say it) loath Sonars.
 
In Protools I can make any number of groups of tracks, and then use those groups as/when I want.
 
For example, I can assign a shortcut to a group and then when I hit that shortcut I will ONLY see that group's tracks. Or I can solo/unsolo any group at a time, etc.
 
I love everything Cakewalk has been doing, but I do feel it's getting time to look at a better, more expansive grouping method. The one we have is much too simple. Way too simple.

Oh! I just discovered that Screen-sets will save hidden/non-hidden tracks. This is great!
 
So you can show only a certain group of tracks (say drums), save that as a screen-set, and then save another screen-set with just VOX, etc.
 
When you move from screen-set to screen-set, you're saved hidden/showing tracks reapear. This is something I'm going to use from now on!

Surely screen sets are per song I guess?  I'll have to try this...seems like it would do the job and assist in organizing.  Thanks for chiming in guys...I appreciate it.

Exactly.
 
I have a template I use when I start a  new project, which is constantly evolving. Now that I know about this feature in Screen Sets, I'm going to create 10 sets saved inside my template, and they'll always be available to me. And of course I can them modify them if/when needed per project.
 
Cakewalk - you rule!

So...screensets are doing a very good job for me.  Feel a little silly as it's been here a long time.  However, sometimes it takes Sonar a long time to switch between screensets...like up to 10 seconds.  Anything I can do about that?
