Hot key for Silence

Question

Audition Developers,
 
I have been using Audition for a while now in dialog editing and wanted to share a few of thoughts.
 
I use the silence feature found in Effects, but there is no hot key that I can find to speed up the process in inserting “silence” other than using the mouse.  It would be a great feature to add a hot key for “silence”.  I know that you are already using the Command S key (MAC) for saving,  so a different hot key would be needed to insert silence.
 
When editing in the Waveform mode, it would be nice to have the Effects Rack active as it is in the Mulitrack Form.  That way a person can keep track of effects used in the Wavefrom mode and never have to use Mulitrack for a simple dialog edit.
 
I really enjoy the effects and plug-ins you have developed for Audition.  I find that I’m using it more now for straight Audio editing as well as Video editing.
 
Thanks for your continued creativity and development of this great product.
 
An avid Adobe user,

Three things: Firstly, the developers don't generally read this site, as it's a U2U forum. Secondly, it's perfectly possible to assign a key to Effects>Silence. Just open the keyboard shortcuts panel and search for Silence - it will show up below. Since I have no particular use for what was assigned to the A key, I have it assigned to that one. Works a treat. Thirdly, if you select Effects Rack in the Window menu, you can have it open in Waveform view.
