Short, possible quick question regarding hotkeys.

Hi Folks, I set a task to have a look at the hotkey assignments and find myself somewhat puzzled.
As an example, I'll pick on the 'F' key.  According to the keyboard shortcut manager it's unassigned, yet, it performs the 'Resizes all tracks vertically to fit in window' action.
How is that possible?
Are some key combinations 'native' and don't appear in the manager or something?
 
Perplexed,
John Mazur.

    Hi OzMaz  ! 

    Funny you write that, I was just about to send a message about this ... 

    There is this wierd thing with custom keyboard bindings.. 

    Yes, there are quite a bunch of default keyboard bindings in sonar, (click HELP-KEYBOARD COMMAND to the list), but the problem is that none actually are "binded" in the key binding menu. So there is no way to tell if a key already have a default assignement,
    and when assigning your own binding, there is no way to tell if you're actually overwriting a defaut key command ... 

    this deserve a bug report IMHO.. 

    Cheers !

    I think it depends on which pane/view has focus

    Actually if I can correct myself...;) 

    default CW bindings are only displayed in the left column box (keys), so by clicking on a key, 
    it tells you what it's assigned to. 

    but clicking on a function (in the right colomn box) does not tell you which key is assigned to it by default, while it does for custom key bindings.  so that makes it easy to overwrite a basic key command, or one could assign a key command for a function that already has a default binding. 

    It would be simpler that if you locate the function, you click on it, it tells you what it's assigned to. no ?
