@garrigus... well that's good to know. Might save me a some headaches if I'm editing after a few too many barley pops. ;-)

While there's no global keyboard shortcut disable function, you _can_ assign individual shortcuts to the Do Nothing command found in the Global Bindings list. This even works with the default shortcuts.

 
Another great tip!

Yep, SONAR X1 Power rules!

hmm... I wonder if I get a deal on that because I bought the big box. I'll have to check my account.

Yep here's what happens when you type in "twin reverb" while just in Sonar...

t- opens up the cursor tool window

i- opens up the Inspector window

Spacebar starts the transport

r- starts the recording function and metronome

e-turns on the effects
 
2nd e-turns off the effects
 
2nd r turns off the recording function.. 
 
 b-opens up the browser
 
Hilarious !!

None of the suggested solutions actually work with many of my vsts.  For example, none of the U-He synths work with SONAR. 
 
The "Do nothing" command doesn't affect the default global key bindings.
 
The "Give all keystrokes to plug-in" also doesn't work.
 
It's definitely a SONAR bug.  I've complained about it numerous times, but I don't think Cake sees it as a bug.

I just tried U-He Diva works fine here. It is CPU intensive but the developer states so and why. I have never had "Give all keystrokes to Plug-in" not work what vst are you having trouble with.

Wow... seeing these old posts of mine is... well... lol

Try saving a preset with a new name.  Inputting the name seems to be the issue.

I thoroughly detest keyboard shortcuts (including the screenset number keys) becuase it is too easy to bump a key and get things completely screwed up.  I would be OK if either 1-you could toggle shortcuts off and on or 2-if UNDO would undo whatever the last shortcut was.  UNDO only works if the shortcut was record or something like that--not if it hoses your set-up or screen.
 
I think this is a big miss in Cakewalk requirements and I am amazed this didn't occur to anyone.  From a coding standpoint, to toggle all off or on does not seem like a difficult thing. (Undo would be harder because it is a core Windows thing and the Undo would not mean the same thing in every situation.)
