This has come up before. There's no way to change master volumes as a group (audio + midi) with a keystroke... like the mixer THIS SONG or ALL SONGS volume change. This feature would be quite convenient at the computer, or in remote situations. If no solution materializes in the next few days, I'll post this to the wishlist. Just want to make sure it's not already present in some form, since with all the embedded shortcuts...this one seems like a no-brainer. No global system volume changes, please....just want in the program...to mimic those master mixer sliders with keystrokes.Thanks.
I don't think it's possible to move just the master slider. What is possible. though....
Press CTRL+2 to select "Master" and then use CTRL+SHIFT+Q (decrease) and CTRL+SHIFT+W to increase.
This moves all sliders in the mixer and not just the "Master" one but the effect is the same.
If you go to Help and type in "Shortcuts" (no inverted commas) in the "Index" search, it's easy to find a list of all BIAB's keyboard shortcuts. There are many.

Selecting Parts (the names refer to BIAB's non-changing track names; see the image below where the tracks are named with legacy/static names)
Ctrl+2 Selects the Master
Ctrl+3 Selects the Bass track
Ctrl+4 Selects the Piano track
Ctrl+5 Selects the Drums track
Ctrl+6 Selects the Guitar track
Ctrl+7 Selects the Strings track
Ctrl+8 Selects the Melody track
Ctrl+9 Selects the Soloist track
Ctrl+0 Selects the Thru track
Instrument Part Settings
Hold down Ctrl+Shift and the letter to change these instrument settings.
Q,W Decrease/Increase Volume
E,R Decrease/Increase Panning
T,Y Decrease/Increase M. Reverb
U,I Decrease/Increase A. Reverb
O,P Decrease/Increase Bank
For example, to reduce the volume of the Bass part
1. Press Ctrl+3 to select the Bass track (assuming the bass is on the Bass track; i.e. the top track in the mixer).
2. Hold Ctrl+Shift and then tap Q to reduce the volume

The effect is NOT the same, Noel. It doesn't maintain individual part volumes. It aligns the sliders in a row and moves them in a group — which defeats the whole concept of a "mix".
Yes, Kent. That would be great. The volume shortcuts were created well before the mix capabilities expanded. And they are due for an upgrade. Thank you.
