  • What other computer keyboard keys or keyboard shortcuts are not working?

I've just started using 2016.12 and have skipped 2016.11. I first found out that my keyboard shortcut to "insert marker" was not working right and I've seen several posts about it. Today I found out that the default operations of delete key (edit/delete) and the F key (resizes all tracks to fit vertically in the window) are not working. Fortunately I found that if I assigned them using the keyboard shortcuts that they were working again.
 
Are there any more keys or keyboard shortcuts not working right now or is this all?

Ok so I'm just kidding here, but...
 
Based on your post, I would guess that you might be hitting the wrong keys or something is wrong with your keyboard! :) :) :)

Shift+A to open automation lanes and the up and down arrow keys for navigating tracks.
 
The 2 shortcuts listed start working when the synth rack is moved from the upper right in the browser.  Undock it or dock it anywhere else to workaround the problem.  Others report that the delete key function also returns with this workaround.
 
Hope this helps,

I see, well you're right I did move the synth rack to I think was the default position, upper right side docked. I like it there. So are the 2 problems you listed: Shift+A to open automation lanes and the up and down arrow keys. Are these fixed by assigning them in Keyboard shortcuts and also by moving the synth rack? I’m glad we have some fixes to these. I’;m still wondering if there are any more.

Try and move the synth rack to the upper right docked. Very likely you'll then have this problem too.
 
You mentioned something may be wrong with the keyboard, well you may be more right than you realize. Some are reporting problems with the localization issue. An English guy in Germany had some problems like this and found out it's because the German keyboard has some differences. Once he turned off the localization it fixed his problem.
 
I opened a song today that the F key and Delete key worked fine on. I couldn't figure out why, but now I know it's very likely the synth rack. Man this is really weird.

I found another post about the “delete key not working”. In this post they slowly figure out what's causing all this and it's indeed the Synth rack being Docked in the upper right. It's stealing the focus with some keys.
 
The only other key not included in my post is the "I" key for Inspector. This is another one that you need to redo using Keyboard Shortcuts.
 
Also the Synth Rack has been known to magically position itself docked in the upper right of the browser. in fact that happened to me and I was so glad it did, since that's where I prefer it to be, but that's when all these problems with certain computer keys started.

there is another one that is related to the broken insert marker shortcut: on a control surface like VS-700 you can use CMD+MARKER to open the marker list, which is no longer functional since the marker insert left us (interestingly, the dedicated default keyboard shortcut ALT+SHIFT+4 still seems to work ... which means adding another MIDI to keyboard translation with an external MIDI translator to temporarily fix that)

I had a problem after the recent update using the insert marker. I previously had it setup with keybinding on my F11 key. Poking around a bit and I discovered that it had been reassigned to the 'M' key.

I also had to remap "I" for Inspector...
 
Unfortunately, I think these monthly updates seem to give us more bugs. I don't want to be a downer, but Q&A testing would probably improve with less frequent releases...

Yes F11 is where my was set, now I'm trying to retrain myself to use the M key. I've been using their software since 1992 and I think that F11 was the default assignment, so you must have been using Cakewalk for a long time too. F11 is very handy since it's easier to find than the M. And I insert markers a good bit, so I hope they fix it soon.
