Ever since I unwittingly and unknowingly pressed 'O' and struggled on, confused, with a totally skewed Sonar, I try touch the keyboard as little as possible.

 
I've disabled the O key. Having a keyboard shortcut for Offset Mode was always an accident waiting to happen.

I think the one I use most is "M" for placing a marker on the timeline.
That and Ctrl-C and Ctrl-P for copy and paste.

Yeah, that's another one I use all the time. I use my MIDI controller for transport functions usually, but still use W to return to the beginning of the project (or looped section) all the time.

F3-Bounce to Clip



I assume this was a custom assignment, yes? I use a different custom assignment for bounce to clip, but agree it's super useful.

ah, yes....some of these custom bindings go so far back I've forgotten that they're custom :)
Should probably edit my list...

Hi:)
 
I use a lot of "Factory" Shortcuts, but for some things I use AHK!
 
https://1drv.ms/f/s!Al2mKojzOW0Mk4dl9uPrMg1snovs5Q
 
This is my Autohotkeyfile for Sonar for things, there's no Hotkey in Sonar!
 
Ctrl + J
 
Opens the Flyout window of the Quad Curve EQ. 
(Inspector has to be docked on the left side with Prochannel opened and first Compressor and second Quad Curve EQ docked) For other combinations the coordinates in the 2. click option in Gain-Sonar.ahk must be changed!
 
I don't need Screensets 7-10, so I use this for: (Can be changed by changing f.e. 7:: to !7:: for Ctrl + 7)
 
7 - Decrease gain of selected Audio Clip or Portion by 3 dB
8 - Decrease gain of selected Audio Clip or Portion by 1 dB
9 - Increase gain of selected Audio Clip or Portion by 1 dB
0 - Increase gain of selected Audio Clip or Portion by 3 dB
 
Now my favorite:) :
 
Ctrl + Alt + B
 
Backups the 5 last changed Directories to 2 different target Directories: (Max Dirs and Source and target Dirs can be changed in Gain-Sonar.ahk) Be care to wait until it opens the "finished" window!
 
My Record Partition is R:\ and the targets are B:\Backup-Musik\ and A:\OneDrive\Studio-RecordNAS
So I get 2 copies from the last 5 Worked on directories of the Sonar Record Partition.
 
If anyone needs it, just load it down;)
 
Greetz,
Bassman.
