I find that I use the split function quite often when editing my audio tracks. I remembered there was a keys shortcut customization panel and since splitting a track takes a right click, then move to the command and finally a confirmation OK, there must be a faster way to accomplish this. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any mention of the split feature there. Did I miss it somehow?

Pressing Alt brings up the scissor tool, then left mouse button splits.

1- select a clip
2- place the "now" timeline on the split point you'd like 
3- press "S" (as in split!)

Enjoy !

 Thanks guys...one of those things I am only now starting to use more. vlab I was pretty sure I tried the press "S" and didn't see anything happen. Maybe it's just my fingers.

I use 'S' too Starise.

Incidentally, you can also tell SONAR what to select by default after you split the clip. There are four available options in Preferences>Customisation>Editing:

• Select Left Portion
• Select Right Portion
• Select Both Portions
• Select None

You might want to check the help file regarding clip splitting, maybe you've overlooked something ..;)

I wish Sonar had a shortcut key for Bounce to Clip, too...

+1 for this ^^^^^
 
Also, shortcuts to open the 'Import' and (especially) the 'Export' dialogues would be cool.

I believe you can use the keyboard shortcuts in preferences to create your own key bindings for Import and Export

I believe you can use the keyboard shortcuts in preferences to create your own key bindings for Import and Export but not the Bounce function.

Thanks Steve, you are correct sir
 
I'd never even bothered looking seeing as it doesn't show a shortcut in the File menu for them.
 
I'm one happy camper now I've set up Ctrl+I for Import Audio, Ctrl+M for Import MIDI and Ctrl+E for Export Audio
