Key commands in Logic Pro for Mac

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

You can use the Key Commands window to browse, copy, import, and save key command sets, as well as to assign your most frequently used Logic Pro functions to computer keyboard keys. Several functions are only available as key commands, and some functions may not have a default key command assignment. In those cases, you need to create a suitable key command to use the function. If you’ve turned on help tags in Logic Pro > Settings > View > General, when a help tag displays a command, it also shows the corresponding key command if one is assigned.

Key commands may consist of either a single key or a key plus one or more modifier keys. The modifier keys are represented by symbols in the Key Commands window. In addition, 𝍖 indicates that the key shown is available twice on an extended keyboard, and that you must press the one on the numeric keypad. For a list of other keyboard symbols, see What are those symbols shown in menus on Mac?

Logic Pro for Mac Help includes tables of key commands with a default computer keyboard assignment. However, all key commands, including those unassigned to computer keyboard keys, can be viewed in the Key Commands window. You can also Copy and print key commands, including unassigned key commands.

Note: Logic Pro offers additional keyboard control if you select the macOS setting “Use keyboard navigation to move focus between controls” in System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard navigation. With this setting turned on, you can use the Tab key to navigate dialogs and windows with onscreen radio buttons, checkboxes, and text fields.

Open the Key Commands window

In Logic Pro, do one of the following:

  • Choose Logic Pro > Key Commands > Edit Assignments (or press Option-K).

  • Press and hold Control while choosing a menu command.

    The Key Commands window opens with the respective command selected.

Reset key command assignments

Resetting causes you to lose your custom key command assignments, so be sure to save a copy of your key commands file before doing so.

  • In Logic Pro, click the Action pop-up menu  in the Key Commands window and choose one of the following:

    • Initialize All Key Commands: Resets all key commands to the default assignments.

    • Initialize Selection: Resets only the currently selected key commands.

    • Initialize Unused: Resets the key commands that have their default assignments removed by the user, but leaves the ones that have a custom assignment.
