Key Commands List
In the list shown to the left of the Key Commands window, the following applies:
• Groups can be extended or collapsed by clicking on the disclosure triangle to the
left.
• Columns can be changed in width by dragging the separating lines between the
headers (Command, Key, MIDI, and so on)
• When the list has keyboard focus, physically pressing a key command (or key
command combination) selects the appropriate function in the list.
• If the triggered key command is located in a collapsed group, the group will
automatically be expanded.
Options Menu
The Options menu offers:
• Import and Copy key command functions
• Expand/Collapse and Scroll to Selection functions for the Key Commands List
window
• Several Initialize options
Importing Key Commands
This function is particularly useful if you need to work temporarily on someone else’s
system; you might want to use your personal key assignments on it, without altering
the other system’s settings.
The Options > Import Key Commands function allows you to import the key
assignments from any Logic Preferences file. When selected, a file selector box allows
you to browse any internal drive or removable media for the desired Logic Preferences
file.
The existing Preferences file (on the target system) is automatically saved as a
∗
.bak file.
This file contains the old key commands.
Note: You don’t need to restart Logic to begin using the new key command set.
