"Enter offset mode? Y/N"

Would stop me from getting angreyed when I realize it's been on for the last hour without me knowing :(

A Rude light would help.

Re-assign the O hotkey to something else (or to "Do Nothing"), and map a key combo to Offset that's less likely to get hit inadvertently.

Exactly what I did with the perishing thing.
 
I have the O key now bound to: Set Loop To Selection.
 
And I agree that it should actually be quite 'difficult' to switch to offset mode.

On entering offset mode I want my DAW to vibrate much like my phone does when set to silent.
But I couldn't find this feature listed under keyboard shortcuts… Strange that!

Re-assign “O” to "Do Nothing"
Re-assign "offset mode” to “Ctrl+Alt+O”

Yeah changing the key binding is a good idea. Ideally though, it should send my cellphone a verification code via text which I then enter into a dialog (twice to verify). If all goes well I should be free to enter my SSN to unlock offset mode.

I have had the problem too. The key binding seems to be the whole trouble. No key binding no problem.

 
I used to hit 'O' accidentally a lot because I have the adjacent keys all bound to single strokes: P=PRV; I=Show Inspector; K=Lock Clip Position; L=Loop On/Off.
 
Obviously, I still hit the wrong key/s now, but slipping into Offset Mode unnoticed seems to be the worse of all possible mistakes.
 
 

It seems that Offset mode must be the Rodney Dangerfield of SONAR.... no respect.
