Overview

Key commands overview

You can perform nearly every Logic Pro function with a key command, greatly accelerating your workflow.

You can use the Key Commands window to browse, import, and save key command sets, as well as to assign Logic Pro functions that you use most often to computer keyboard keys. There are also a number of functions that are only available as key commands. Some of these may not have a default key command assignment. In those cases, you’ll need to create a suitable key command, in order to make use of the function.

You can only access the Key Commands window when Show Advanced Tools is selected in Advanced preferences.
