Right click properties?  No thank you.  Gay marriage?  No thank you.  Gun control?  No thank you.  God Bless the American status quo!  Skylight uber alles.  Heil!

You do get that I am mocking the whole conformist argument, don't you?

I think arguments against customisation are silly! 
 
As Craig pointed out, even Cakewalk is shifting their focus toward customisation! 
 
I find it half amusing, half alarming how doggedly people evangelise the New Status Quo (X1)... right after criticising someone for wanting the OPTION to personally reuse elements of the Old Status Quo (8.5.3). 
 
There is a huge difference for asking for an OPTION... and asking for the ELIMINATION of an option.
 
If you can't see the difference, then you haven't been watching the news.


Yes but as Craig also pointed out, the world is, albeit slowly, moving towards using Touch as an interface thus reducing the need AND the viability of utilising right click, so why waste resources on  coding/functionality which might be heading towards obsolescence?

Not to add fuel to the fire but touch can use right click. To right click using touch you tap with two fingers. I use touch a lot but only on my tablet. It also makes sense to have touch with a small light weight tablet. Not so much with vertical monitors just out of reach. 
 
Touch is cool. It does need one to learn a new way to work though. In some ways and because I am so used to a mouse I also have a bluretooth to go with my tablet. It feels like a cheat but it does work. LOL
 
Perhaps a customizable optional configurational setup for Sonar that can be optimized for mouse, keyboard and touch at the users whim.  By then we may have neural implants too.

Just sign me up for the Implants John. I won't be able to use my hands by then anyway.

John - What tablet? 
I am using a 27" 10 point multi-touch monitor with SONAR for 1 of my 2 displays. (The other display above it is same size, non-touch)
The windows 10 convention for right click is press and hold - 
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/using-touch-gestures
Alternative is a "Press and tap" (Hold the item then quickly tap second finger)
To be honest, I don't know how you could possibly get two fingers close enough to something like the touch target on say a track fader. Outside of SONAR, a touch "right click" (touch and hold then release) works perfectly (here), on items no larger than a fader cap on my display. I use right click (Press and hold) for several applications and it works everywhere else - including in applications that don't promote themselves as "touch capable". Not in SONAR though (here) - I left-press on a fader to drag it up or down, but if I want to do something with that same fader (like "Group", for example, or automate) that I would normally do with a mouse right click, there is no equivalent touch option (here, at least) - I instead have to right click with the mouse.
So the question isn't whether "touch can use right click" - I know it can, and I use it - just not in SONAR.
I am curious what tablet you are using and whether you are actually using it for right-click of something reasonably small - like say - a fader cap, in SONAR.

I think not - touch is prettty much dead for anything other than 'phones and tablets.

Fastest way for me is " copy track name to clip name" found in tracks menu in track
view .

Sorry to bring this thread back from dead, but just had to say after re-reading it I noticed this nugget I missed previously . . . didn't know this way of re-naming a clip existed . . . it's one of those added features Cakewalk added, but who knows which version they added this ? . . . guess it doesn't matter, just glad it exists . . . thank you JPS for pointing this out, gotta' love the forum for this.

Steven Slate doesn't seem to be aware of that...
 
Desktops are not where growth is happening, so as touch becomes used more on "downscale" devices, those who do get desktops will want the same capabilities.
 
Similar principle to the desktop designers trying to make Windows 8 work on desktop and mobile, and failing. Then the mobile designers came in to make Windows 10 work on mobile and desktop, and succeeded. I think Windows 10 marks the true beginning of touch, and Apple creating pressure-sensitive touch will up the ante just that much more.
