SF Pro 15 latest update 5/5/21 will not allow my custom keyboard commands. I've always used Alt N for insert silence, as it's just easier when editing...now it is listed but the latest build does not allow it. I tried changing it to Alt B...it just won't save or recognize either.

Thanks for the heads up @BScott-Fischer.
The Alt + N keyboard shortcut does not seem to work for any global command.
In the new build 57, Alt + N is now 'Envelope Tool' by default in the data window view, but that does nothing globally. I will check it out further ASAP.
Alternate key commands for "Insert silence" worked though.
FWIW, the Build 57 release notes state:
>> Export
o Fixed menu not appearing in some situations:
o Added "Export with Previous" feature that allows to apply the last used export preset·
>> Instant Action
o Fixed scroll-bar that intermittently wouldn't show up on program start-up
o Fixed User Entries group that appeared empty on program start-up
>> Batch Converter / Export Dialog
o Added "Same as Source" render option and set as default for new/empty presets
o Improve focus of text fields when saving presets and creating folders
o Set maximal length from preset name
o Small User Interface fixes
> Fixed length calculation issue for short MP3 files with ID3v1 tag
> Updated some help file
>> New Shortcuts for the Data Window
o Alt + D - Edit Tool (Strg + D is still available too)
o Alt + E - Event Tool
o Alt + M - Magnify Tool
o Alt + N - Envelope Tool
o Alt + P - Pencil Tool
Use insert silence quite a bit...
Why I use insert silence...
Record radio shows, edit out commercials, add about 05 silence where commercial was
then mix a leadin music... silence area, so I know this is start of another segment
so its about 5 or 7 silence inserts into audio file...
Use Xkeys Programmable keypad, software is MacroWorks 5.1...
Just press a designated key for insert silence, bam....insert silence
My macro for insert silence..... ALT + SHIFT + S
NOTE: Macros will not work, unless sound forge is ran with Administrative Privileges ! ! !

btw, @BScott-Fischer, if you really want to use Alt+N for insert silence (or other process) append the key command with a second N. Alt+N+N
btw, the other new default shortcuts do not work either and cannot be used w/o appending the key command. The deep-thinkers (developers) are being notified.
Thanks very much rraud!!! I really appreciate your help every time I seem to have an issue...you are there for me and others...very grateful. I solved it on my own by changing Alt+N to Alt+B. It seems to be working fine now.
