Key Commands
You can activate most of Logic’s functions via key commands. A key command is a
computer keyboard shortcut for a function or task in Logic. A number of functions are
only available as key commands. The Key Commands window is used for the
assignment of key commands to your computer’s keyboard. The use of key commands
allows you to customize Logic to suit your own working style, and will speed up your
use of the program.
Your personal key commands are stored (along with settings made in the Preferences
window) in
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Logic (“~” denotes the path to your user
folder: hard disk/users/username/, for example).
Key Commands Window
The Key Commands window can be opened via the Logic > Preferences > Key
Commands menu option or with the Option-K key command—give it a try!
The list of key commands (arranged in groups) appears to the left of the window, and
the Properties Box is to the right.
In the List shown to the left of the Key Command window, the following applies:
• Groups can be extended or collapsed by clicking on the arrow to the left.
• When the list has keyboard focus, physically pressing a key command (or key
command combination) selects the appropriate key command.
• If the triggered key command is located in a collapsed group, the group will
automatically be expanded.
