Hello Bob,
In versions prior to 2017.03, hotkeys A (show all tracks), H (hide all tracks), V (invert track selection) were quite used. I had even created a script with Autohotkey to show only the current track, something that there was not in Sonar, but I used it constantly, along with the other keys above.
These operations are now restricted to the mouse only.
Even the new "AutoLock" does not have the possibility of a keyboard shortcut.
I believe that repetitive operations should have support via the keyboard to facilitate the workflow.
Is there any chance these functions will have shortcut keys again?
 

I agree.
The loss of "A" and "V" are still keeping me from updating.

I realize you want keyboard shortcuts, but there are "mouse shortcuts" that I find helpful.
 
To show all tracks, double-click on any one track number.
To show only the selected track and hide all other tracks, click on the track number for the track you want to show.
 
I don't know of any simple way to invert tracks.

I'm not sure about A and V Steve, but other shortcuts that have disappeared (screensets) are still available if you export them from whatever older version of Sonar you are using then import them into the latest update after install. Probably works for these as well.

Thanks ... but it's confirmed that they ("A" and "V") are gone.

If I click on a note bar in the PRV center window, does it then highlight the track in the right side track list?

A, V, H are gone in new PRV, also "Pick Tracks" option (which can be associated with a shortcut key). 
Pick track is still in the keyboard shortcut list, but it does not work anymore.

Thanks CA!

Yes! If you double-click as described previously and all tracks are visible, then clicking on any note will highlight the track it came from in the list to the right. It will also highlight the track in the Track View, and if you've associated a color strip with the track, the notes will reflect the choice of colors so that makes it easier to tell which notes belong to which tracks.
 
Here's another interesting feature: Suppose you select a few notes in Track 1. Then you ctrl+click on Track 2. The notes in Track 1 will remain selected. Now you want to work on all of Track 1, so you ctrl+click on any Track 1 note - the track to the right is highlighted and you can do your track-wide edits. But now if you ctrl+click on Track 2, the original Track 1 notes on which you ctrl+click remain selected. This is very helpful when bouncing back and forth between making edits on specific notes in specific tracks. Play around a bit with ctrl+clicking and you'll see what I mean.
 
I have to say it took some brainstrain to wrap my head around the documentation in terms of selection, de-selection, auto lock, etc. I've written up what I've found for my next Sound on Sound column, which will hopefully make things clearer. I realize the keyboard equivalents from the original PRV are gone (although it seems it wouldn't be that hard to "hook them up" again), but the new PRV is way more functional, especially if you wait through March and do the April update.

Also note I edited the previous post to include another feature I forgot to mention, as well as an opinion.

Very cool!
