I found the 'do nothing' key binding to get rid of some of the killer keyboard shortcuts.  Surely there's a better way.   You forget for a moment where you are typing and sonar goes crazy with all the shortcut actions: ruining a good bit of work or at least confusing you for several minutes.  
 

The only solution I know of is Cakewalk abandoning single key shortcuts entirely. IMO, using single key shortcuts was an unfortunate design decision made early in the development of Cakewalk products which has been continued far too long.

I like single key 'key-binding' for some things, especially for the Save function. There is nothing easier than hitting the letter 'S' to save when your working on your projects.
 
It would be ashame if they abandoned single key shortcuts for multiple key shortcuts as this defeats the shortcut. You can get to allot of things with 2 clicks in Sonar. so multiple key shortcuts will not be a 'shortcut' what your actually asking, indirectly, is getting rid of shortcuts altogether.

I am only suggesting they not be the default. Single key bindings should be a decision made by the user. It could even be supplied as a kbn for legacy support.

But but but...  no single key shortcuts = no "D" for multi-dock, "W" for rewind, "T" for edit filter, "P" for preferences, "K" for mute, "C" for control bar, "N" for snap disable, "Q" for quantize, etc, etc.    Some single key shortcuts I get - "O" for offset is one that comes up often enough.   But getting rid of them all by default?   Nah, not for me...
 

Why not create your own key bindings. I thought that was a feature.

How about "No single key shortcut should by default affect data", so no S for split, say? We could extend if to "No single key should by default confuse the user and generate problems on the forum" so there goes O for offset mode :-)

To some of the replies: nothing wrong with WANTING a certain keystroke to do a certain thing.   But the number keys, for instance, go to 10 screensets 8 of which I never use, and you can't alter it.  You can not 'unbind' these defaults, that's my point.  Seems such a simple matter to fix in the programming of sonar.  

I think the primes of this thread is odd.  Just every program I use has keyboard shortcuts. Many of them are single key types. I really don't understand the complaint. To me a program on Windows uses keyboard shortcuts. They always have. 
 
Saying this because one is being sloppy with their key presses is reason to condemn the choice of the programmers baffles me. 
 
I do know that CW thought long and hard on the key-bindings in the X series. Now we see a complaint for no other reason then fat fingers.  

A daw is slightly different.  I find myself using (unfortunately) my left hand to operate the keyboard while the right is doing some other useful thing, like playing music.  And I don't always have adequate lighting on the keyboard.  I'd like to be able to turn off all bindings and only turn on the very few that I do want to use.
