Will pay Cakewalk/Bandlab team whatever needed ($500? 1k?) for vital feature I need back...
...that Bob Damiano irreversibly butchered to favor Cakewalk's current workflow with its keybinding accelerators.
To replicate my issue:
Edit ==> Preferences ==> Show advanced and go to Keybindings: (excuse me if this isn't the exact method to get to the keybinding edit window)
Assign A, B, C, D, F, G to "Do Nothing" (E is not bound by default to any global accelerators)
Now go to the event list window:
1. Open the event list on a MIDI track
2. Press the "insert" key on your QWERTY keyboard
==Result==> (a C5 note will appear)
3. Press the "E" key on the keyboard
==Result==> The window is now on typing mode ready for input. It registered the "E" you typed and you can now enter a note number for the octave.
Press the arrow key and you can now move to edit any other parameter of that note.
This is the expected behavior
---------------------------------------------------
Now repeat the 3 steps above but instead of pressing "E" on step #3 press "A". The event list will not get on typing mode. The result in green above is what I want and I will pay for it. Please tell me if paying to expedite the release of that feature could be possible.
