Use menu commands and key commands in Logic Pro for Mac
Logic Pro for Mac provides several ways to perform a wide variety of tasks and functions when working in your projects. You can select commands from various menus, press specific keys or key combinations on your computer keyboard, or use the pointer (often in combination with computer keys) to perform tasks quickly as you work.
Menu commands
Logic Pro provides a variety of menus that contain commands, settings, and value lists, including:
Main menus: The set of menus in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Local menus: Several windows in Logic Pro have their own menu bar, with menus containing commands and settings specific to that window. Examples include the Piano Roll Editor and Audio Track Editor, the Event List, and the Mixer.
Shortcut menus: Control-clicking on specific areas of the Logic Pro interface displays a shortcut menu (also called a contextual menu) containing menu commands specific to that area.
Pop-up menus: These are menus on buttons or controls indicated with up and down arrows or a down arrow.
Key commands
The Key Commands window in Logic Pro lists over 2,000 commands that trigger specific actions or functions by pressing a key on your computer keyboard, or pressing a key combined with one or more modifier keys (Control, Option, Shift, and Command). Some key commands have a default assignment, but all can be freely reassigned to suit your way of working. Many key commands are also available as menu commands, while some are exclusively available as key commands.
Note: Key commands can also be assigned to MIDI controllers or to the Touch Bar on portable Mac models that feature the Touch Bar. You can also use the Logic Remote app, available for iPad or iPhone, to trigger specific key commands from these devices.
See Logic Pro settings, project settings, and key commands, which features tables with all the key commands that have default assignments in Logic Pro.
