Is there undated documentation on "Keyboard Shortcuts" for "Sonar Platinum"?
It seems the newest I can find is for X3.

Thank you!

Hi Steve.

I don't look at the docs often, but I have a little program that is on the Sonar users resources page.

I think it's called Kybd. Using a third party program, it graphically maps the shortcuts. Clickng ctrl/shift/alt/combos displays the relative commands...

Handy...

When in doubt, open preferences and click on Keyboard shortcuts.
you can cycle through them and easily access different ones by typing a command in the search box.

Thanks guys.

Chuckebaby:
That was my first thought but Splat won't show quite a few of that that are already bound and do work.
ALT+SHIFT+4 and ALT+SHIFT+6 are examples of ones that do work in Sonar but don't show a binding in P>Keyboard Shortcuts.

KeyBindingDisplay (KBD).
Initially found here http://forum.cakewalk.com/SONAR-Resources-and-Utilities-m3392713.aspx
on the SONAR Resources and Utilities Page

...and then to here for the actual download. https://sites.google.com/site/keybindingdisplay/
Never know about it.

Or the Sonar Reference Guide which was updated in the last few months.
Or

http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation/Home

Select Sonar as that is the most recent version.

Thanks.
Not easy to find at all on the Web, even knowing "Sonar" (alone) is actually the secret pass phrase for Platinum.

Eventually I found it. Not sure how.
http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Menus1.185.html#1306571

... but I suspect it is not complete, and also not accurate in some places.

Example:
Piano Roll View Shortcuts > Invert Track Visibility = V
"If" that was still functional, (I believe it has been removed as of 2017.03)
then "A" is missing to once again "Show All".

Build is 23.4.0 at the top of the Shortcuts page ...
which, after some searching to decrypt that nonsence ...
(FTLOM I can't understand why there's an understandable version number like 2017.01 and also a cryptic and confusing build number)
... is actually 2017.04 which can also be called latest build.

So, should we trust this with missing and possibly inacurate information?
Ehhh ... well ... I saved the page but will always test it first.

Thanks for telling me how to find it.
