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.
