Is there such a thing? I looked in the documentation but can't find anything. I'd like to print a copy so I have it handy while I'm getting used to the program.

http://www.cakewalk.com/D...mp;Req=Menus1.182.html or from the Main SONAR menu Help > Keyboard Shortcuts. I believe you can print the help pages.

Thanks scook. The link gives me a 'Oops - we couldn't find...............' message but I'll check the help menu when I get home later. I thought I'd looked there though.......................but I could easliy be wrong there..........

X3 help keyboard shortcuts
The link is in the search results.

I always reorganise the layout of the pages, print them in duplex and landscape and laminate them. Create a flip chart. Quickest way to learn shortcuts. Also the single greatest productivity gain.

I looked at that but I use Reason 7 too so not for me.

Yup, that the plan. I've been running through the Groove 3 X3 Explained tutorials and have made a few notes but quickly realised those notes ain't really gonna help as much as a proper list.
 
Cheers all.

I'm looking for a very specific keyboard shortcut that hasn't existed in any earlier versions that I know of: a key combo that will let me move forward or back on the timeline by beats.  Seems like a simple thing until you try to find it.  To use my Contour Shuttle pro, I need this as a kb shortcut because that's what the Contour sends - and as it is, it's limited to measures as the smallest granularity.
 
Thoughts?

You can create a finer grain adjustment to now time with CAL and bind the CAL scripts to the keyboard. Here is an example of moving now time backward

(do
    (int offset 30)
    (if (< Now offset)
        (= Now 0)
           (-= Now offset)
    )
)
And the now time forward example
 (do
    (+= Now 30)
)

While you're at it, disable all the shortcuts you won't be using for now.  You can always reenable them later.  In the meantime, you won't spend hours wondering what happened after you accidentally hit the "o" key.
