Shortcut for "Insert Marker" not possible?

With the new November 2016 update it is no longer possible to create any shortcut for "insert marker".
The shortcut in the helpfile don't work. And I'm not able to create any key for this command.
For example : Ctrl+J  == Project | Insert Marker
We need to create markers hundred times the day because we digitaze tapes, vinyl on several notebooks and give the recordings descriptons with the markers.
But these computers have german keyboard layout - but Sonar runs always in English.
 
Has anyone the same problem - or is this perhaps due to our german keyboard layout?

Thank you.
With the new udate the shortcut "M" suddenly no longer does.
I have tested to create a lot of other key kombinations. But no shortcut does insert a marker.

We use the markers at the begin of a new tape to specify the tape number, speed and color of the leadertape. We record 1 to 40 tapes in one project. Up to 70 hours in one project
 
Then perhaps it is that we run windows with german keyboard layout. And something is broken.

Thank you.
Until this is fixed we use [ALT]+J+K
[Alt] is the shortcut for the menu. Then "J" for project - the K for "insert marker"
 

Are you familiar with the POK footswitch? It works with SONAR, but it also works with just about anything - I use it for formatting commands in Word. It might really help your workflow to put some keyboard shortcuts on a footswitch.

Thanks for mentioning this I never ran across these and just might have a use for it.

Thank you.
But the problem is not the keyboard per se. An POK footswitche would also not work.
Because we are in germany our 11 computers are running with a "german" windows version (Windows 10 x64).
The problem is the german windows version.

So we have this problem on 11 laptops and computers.
From that 8 laptops are recording tapes and vinyl around the clock.  
Until this is fixed we use [ALT]+J+K

Are you using a different computer keyboard layout or is the layout mappings from the OS?
Would like to try and repro what's going wrong so we can address it.
 
Of course you can change SONAR's display language via Command Center settings.  Just pick German from the dropdown and then reopen SONAR.
 
Keyboard input would likely be set in Windows Control Panel.
 
Let us know.

The 'Marker' button on my VS100 has stopped working since the update, too, so I think there IS an issue here.  All the other VS100 controls as normal - transport, mute, arm etc.  Keyboard shortcut m is still functional here, though (I am in the UK).  Any other VS users experiencing this?

Simply hitting M has and continues to work over here...

M to insert a marker is not working for me here in Statesboro, GA, USA.  Seems it was working until 2016.11.  My mapping says it's bound.  I unbound and bound again and M is still not inserting a marker.

I just rolled back to 2016.10 and M is working for marker on that one.

FWIW and back on topic, M still works for me with November release.

This surely merits some kind of award for weirdest glitch. M is working fine here. I assume for the "M isn't working" folks, you can enter a track name that includes "M"? If so, then SONAR sees the key.
 
Maybe try reloading the default key bindings file? Or one for a different DAW, just to see what happens?
 
 

Hey Craig,
 
The default key bindings restored the M for marker here.  Yay!  The super heroes of Sonar save the day!

So do we who reported this glitch get a cool award?  Hahahaha!

Anderton
Yes! You got an answer that solved your problem 
 
Although I must admit it was just a lucky guess.

LOL!  That will do just fine!  "M" is one of the first things I do when I pull up tracks for mixing, so that got my attention very quickly.
 
Thanks!
