Figure. Searching for a key command.

You can also switch between key command sets, or import and export them. This is particularly useful if you need to work temporarily on another user’s Logic Pro system, because you can use your personal key assignments without altering the settings of the other system.

  • Click the disclosure triangle beside a key command group to show its contents.
