Help module

The Help module is a window that dynamically shows contextual help for various UI elements in Sonar. Simply point to a UI element for a brief moment, and the Help module displays a short description of the UI element.

If a UI element has an associated keyboard shortcut, the default or custom keyboard shortcut is displayed.

Many descriptions also include a “Learn More” link, which opens a related topic in the main Cakewalk help.

The Help module can float, or be docked above or below the Browser.
