My keyboard has no number keys on the right hand side.
For extra safety, I don't have a cat.

Grum.

Bakers, please think like a user, not a programmer.
One typically changes screensets very rarely.
So please remove the keybinding by default.

Cant you just lock the screenset ?
I don't know maybe im misunderstanding.

Locking a screenset won't stop it changing to a new one when another number is selected.

your right it wont, but going back to the original screenset will only take 1 click.
 
I believe his/the OP problem (what he is explaining) is he hits a # by accident and all his views, docks, exc are changed (because it switches screensets). Well if he locks his main/original screenset once everything is set up, then even he if bumps a # key by accident, it will only take 1 click to return to his previous set up.
 
Screensets are amazing and can be used to ones advantage in many different ways.
So rather than curse them, I would suggest the OP simply learns how to manipulate them instead to his advantage.
Cant say I have ever bumped a key by accident and had it blow up my workspace. I set up all my screensets and lock my main 3 screensets. thus never losing my docks, views.
But even if he were to lock just his main screenset, its 1 click to lock it, another click to get back to it.
 
Screensets are almost like saving a project. You wouldn't expect to click "Exit" by accident and still have your work saved.
Only other option I believe is to disable the key bindings.

Actually this is how you think (not every user). I change screensets quite frequently.
We all work in different ways. If you learn to use Screensets to your advantage then you might change them more frequently.

I never explored screen sets. Just now though I pressed 1-7 and was like, wow, look at all the views. And all I have to do to "go home" is hit the 1 key.
 
When they came out with this I said meh, and never took em for a spin.
I guess it's good I did because I do have a cat here.
 
 

A programmer thinks "Ah. Menu! Must have key bindings".
No. The menu is enough.
You are an expert. You are capable of setting up your own key bindings.
 
There's a thread how to make DAWs easier.
This is a classic example how to terrify a new user.

Gross generalisation at best! I use screensets extensively all of the time. Think like a power user, not a newbie:)

I hear ya man

My perspective is that is one of the most annoying defaults of Sonar: I don't know how many times I've tried to enter a value in a dialog box and instead reset my screen set. I guess I can just unmap the keys, and I've never bothered doing so.

IMO, being to completely turn off screen sets would be the best approach.  That way people that don't use them don't have to go thru multiple steps to unmap stuff, lock stuff and 1-click back from something they didn't want to begin with.
