Sometimes he does things with a few steps (literally) that I can never understand or replicate.

It's called talent.
 
 

Sharke....I am well aware of the control z button...but it won't restore a hot key.....when you're in the middle of a creative session and everything goes sideways....whether it's a cat or dropping something....time, inspiration and motivation go out the window when you have to try and get things back to where they were...

Don't sell dogs short on the chaos theory. They have sent keyboards, mouse and equipment flying with those wagging tails! No laptop is safe from any family pet......

Yeah, Sonar plants too many single key landmines....the only solution I've found is to save a new version evey 5-10 minutes

I've worked in the computer field for the past 20 years and these kind of changes just come with the territory...my main drag is when you're rolling through a project and everything comes grinding to a halt because of something so small...
 
I have a tablet I use a lot for surfing the web, emails and Youtube...it drives me crazy when I lose my spot because I touched the screen by accident or scrolled too hard LOL!
 
The potential for unneeded aggravation just seems higher than it used to be in all technology...I won't even go into trying to text on a smart phone.....maybe I'm just getting old!

 Small birds think cables are chew toys.  I read a story about a parrot removing keys and laughing about it.  Cats have this unique behavior with music.  I was practicing on a tuba at someone's house and my audience was two cats.

Can we map the sustain paddle and a foot switch for intermediate saving?

You could engage the auto save feature if you're really worried.

When I was a kid my stepdad had a "study" in which was the family hi-fi and record collection. We had a set of remote speakers in the living room. For ages we thought the record player was on its last legs because it would suddenly slow down and then speed up again. After a while we just got used to it. Then one day I happened to walk in and caught the cat mashing its paw on the record, lifting it up then mashing it back down again. We had a little kitty DJ on our hands 

Hence my kittty DJ profile pic.  :)
