Re: Unblind screenset hotkeys?

I bound the number keys to "do nothing" this allowed me to bind them in Melodyne (being a different program on top of Cakewalk). I could have left them and bound the screensets to another key combination also then the screensets would have two ways each to access each screenset.
Cakewalk does nothing when I hit the number keys and that is perfect for my purpose.
I work sometimes for many hours in Melodyne and using the ctrl and a number combo is a big stretch with one hand and if I use two hands I lose my mouse place.
Contrarily, I change screensets a lot less frequently, if ever, so hitting the numbers accidentally threw off my entire view moreso than not.
I use screensets when I have tons of tracks such that separating instrument types can help me avoid lots of scrolling in track view. If I am changing screensets then my mouse position is not as critical usually and using two hands to access a particular screenset is not an issue because my mouse position often reorients with the screenset change anyway.
This tip of setting the number keys to do nothing was a BIG HELP!
I can still click on the screensets with my mouse to change them also.
Once the number keys are set to "do nothing" globally I doubt they can be used within Cakewalk after that but Melodyne or any other program with hotkeys that sits within and on top of Cakewalk can sure make use of them.
I did not test if the number keys could be bound to a different function within Cakewalk as that was not my particular need at this point.
I would have stumbled over the ctrl + number key assignment had you not told me about that also. This work-around works brilliantly! Again, many thanks Scook!
