Is it possible to remove some keyboard shortcuts from the initialization file / cakewalk.ini ?
 
Example : remove keyboard shortcut F2 ( track ) and E (Global FX Toggle )
 
I need certain keyboard shortcuts for other things while i am using platinum, in my search i think its possible but i need some help to remove them properly.

Bind the shortcuts to "Do Nothing" in Edit\Preferences

Do u by any chance know what the keyboard shortcut F2 is called in Edit/Prefences> keyboard shortcuts ?
 
I have checked the cakewalk shortcuts list and cant find it on there ?

Just tried to bind : Bypass All Audio Effects > in edit prefences to !!!+%%%+*** however the keyboard shortcut E still toggles it on and off ? I need E to do nothing in platinum !

Search for F2 using the button popup and press F2 when it appears.

I will tomorrow although I need to unbind F2 so in order for me to do that I need to know what it is currently binded to then rebind that something else so F2 does nothing .

So your saying a edit / preferences > keyboard shortcuts > pop up button search will display what F2 is globally binded to ?

I think F2 is similar to the enter button

Thanks

Yep - the button to click is actually called "Locate Key".  Hit that, press F2 on the keyboard and...on mine, it says [Unassigned], but (now I think about it), it defaults to the Windows default where F2 means rename (so if you have a track or bus or soft synth (in synth rack) selected and press F2, it puts the track/bus/soft synth name field into edit mode.
 
Binding it to DO Nothing stops this behaviour (just checked).
