Enhanced editing with keyboard
New features in SONAR 8.5
The zooming behavior depends on the current Edit or Select mode:
• Zoom around the selection. Will center and zoom on the mid-point of the selection.
• Zoom around the Free Edit cursor. Will center and zoom around the cursor.
The most appropriate zoom method is used automatically based on the following logic:
• The default zoom method is Zoom around the selection.
• If there is no selection, the next zoom method is Zoom around the Free Edit cursor.
