Basic Operations

Tip: Pressing Control—and choosing a command in a menu—opens the Key
Commands window, with the respective command selected. This also works with
shortcut menus.

 Key Commands list: Lists all available key commands. The bullet indicates key

commands that are not available as menu items.

 Key and Assignment column: Show the currently assigned key, and MIDI message (if

applicable).

 Find field: Use this to find key commands by name or partial name.
 Key combination area: Displays the key combination associated with the selected key

command.

 Assignments area: Displays the control surface assignment associated with the

selected command.

 Learn buttons: Use these to teach Logic Express to use a particular key, or key

combination, to perform a function.

Key Command Groups and Hierarchies

The global key commands are always functional, regardless of the currently active
window. Non-global commands require the corresponding window to have key focus
(in the foreground, or on top of other windows). This allows you to assign the same key
command (or combination of keys) to different functions in different windows.
