Logic crashes when using the "Close Project without Saving" key command

The "Close Project without Saving" key command does not work in LP8. When I try to use it, Logic crashes. This is reproducible on my system. Can anyone try and confirm this?

For me this shortcut is quite important on stage when I have to switch songs as fast as possible. It also is foolproof because on stage I never want to save with all the controller changes I did during a performance.
Just hit the key command, load the next song, done.

Possible bug when using Key Command

Greetings,
Can someone confirm this behavior in Logic 9? When I'm editing a plugin and hit my key command to go to a location, enter the measure # and hit enter - all **** breaks loose. It's as though I'm scrolling through a bunch of screensets and the enter location window still stays on top.
Am I the only experiencing this? Misery sure does love company.
Cheers

fyi, it looks like this issue has been resolved with jdev 11.1.1.0.2 (Update 2)

I think i hit some important key accidentally. something changed. now when i receive photos, they only appear in the message and i have no thumbnails nor a way to download. those same e-mails with photos do fine on the iPad/iPhone, so it is my computer.

something changed on my computer after i accidentally hit some key. when i receive e-mails now with photos the images appear in the message
but no thumbnails nor way to download. these same messages are fine on the iPad and iPhone. so, it is my computer that is awry. any keyboard
way to have the computer show thumbnails and to be a able to click and download these images? i've tried everything i can think of.

Numeric-pad 0 key-command behavior

This isn't explicitly mentioned in the manual, but I reckon my numeric pad 0 key should function as a stop | rewind-to-top key-command. Now, my problem is:
- it doesn't;
- this function can't be assigned from the key-command window.
NB: I use a French keyboard...
Q1: am I missing something?
Q2: what work-around would you suggest?
Q3: how can I define a key as a sequence of commands?

A key cannot be assigned as a sequence of key commands within Logic, and there isn't a command for exactly the function you want. However, here's a neatly-grouped bunch of key commands that can offer you the functionality you want:
1. Assign numeric keypad ENTER to key command "play"
2. Assign numeric keypad 0 to "stop"
3. Assign numeric keypad "." to "•go to position"
I think this combination of keys will give you the most flexibility. It would be a piece of cake to get your sequence to start from bar 1 (or any other bar for that matter):
hit 0
hit .
hit 1
hit ENTER
That key sequence would take a fraction of a second to execute.
The zero and/or the "." will function as normal for numerical entry! After a value is entered, they will invoke the various key commands you've assigned.
There are numerous other Global key commands available that might better serve you, but the above is my suggestion.
As far as your using a French keyboard, this should, theoretically, make no difference as to whether or not key commands work. Having said that, there are many bugs associated with the Key Commands window, and some key combinations won't work, and F14 and F15 by themselves won't work for anything. But you shouldn't have any problem using the numeric keypad to work.
If you're having trouble getting key commands to work by "key label", try programming them by "key position" instead.

Is there a key command for ejecting a dvd or cd from a firewire dvd drive?

I have looked in the chats with no luck. I have two optical drives connected to my G5 powermac one internal and one firewire, and can't remember
the key command to eject a disc from the external one without dragging it to the trash. I know I used to do that it. option / eject button/ or control/ eject but that does not work. I know you can click on the disc icon then do command/e. But I think there is a way to eject it with a key command and not have to click on the disc first. In other words when you hit the keyboards eject button you can eject the disc in the internal super drive with one push of the keyboards eject button. I want to be able to do that with my external dvd drive.
Any clue?
Thanks.

hmm, it might not be possible without some third party hack.
Try the following link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050520155515566
You'll need to paste the provided script into Script Editor, save it as an application and bind a keyboard shortcut to it using one of many many application launchers like Quciksilver, Butler, Quickeys, ikeys or Spark (suggested by the above link).
sorry that script is outdated.
here is the correct one:
property drawerstatus : true
if drawerstatus is true then
do shell script "drutil -drive external tray eject"
else
do shell script "drutil -drive external tray close"
end if
set drawerstatus to not drawerstatus

Is there a key command for "none" when making a list but I'm finished

When I am making a numbered list, Pages automatically adds numbers to the next line when I hit "return."
for example
1) sdjfskdfdsjdk
2) ahfghfdghfdhnvbcnbncbv
3) tereteewtrterwtret
4)
In this case, there are only three elements, but Pages goes ahead and thinks I'm going to keep going with the list.
Is there a key command I can map that will "de-number" the fourth line so I can keep typing without having to go up to the task bar and select "none"?

Pages User Guide which is also for you claims :
As pressing return twice doesn't behave well here, I decided to use the second sceme return + delete which works well every time.

PUZZLER: How to assign the TAB key to a key command

For the past 11 years I've had the TAB key assigned to "record toggle". But in L8 I can't seem to make this k/command assignment occur... Even when the learn function is activated in the k/commands window, whenever I hit the TAB key to assign it to the currently highlighted key command, it simply changes the focus of the cursor, moving it from the highlighted command to the search field.
Looking for a clue... anyone?

do you remember losing the function keys when tiger came out?
Yeah, I remember losing F14 and F15. They still don't work. But I've since figured out that those keys are reserved for adjusting the brightness on various Apple laptops, and I think also some other models. However, it doesn't apply to someone like, er, um, me who has a desktop-model Mac and a 3rd-party monitor which doesn't have a brightness control that responds to... you guessed it, F14 and F15. So those keys are dead, 'cept for my modifier key variants.
I tried importing my L7 prefs and sure enough, my L7 TAB assignment worked just fine. But I quickly reverted to my saved L8 prefs cuz I didn't want to take a chance of corrupting something or other because of an "illegal" key command assignment.
So I guess it's time to find another key for "record toggle". TAB is going to be an 11 year-old habit that's gonna die hard, I can tell...

Default key commands "Bonking"

Hi all,
Just picked up Logic Pro Studio. On numeric keyboard, as I try to start and stop with 0, I get a "apple bonk". Also astrik "record" and other short cut keys. Watching a tutorial and see that these keys are suppose to do something. How can I reset default command keys or adjust these key to work properly.

thanks for the reply jdredge,
He was useing 9 in the tutorial but probably had earlier versions as you described. I deleted tranzport from control surface, repaired disc, trashed prefs (com. apple playlist and playlist cs. reset defaults (although I've only been on it for a week and didn't change anything. ) I haven't hit it hard for system specs but I'm running 10.5.7 with Logic pro 9. Do you think it makes a difference if I went to 10.5.8 and logic 9.0.1? Or are these the new defaults and that wouldn't matter. One more thing, as I look at key command list... what is a up arrow (like a greater than or less than symbol but points up) with a line over it , and what is an arrow that kinda swoops down from the right and goes left?
Thanks again for writing, I'll try your suggestion.

What is the default key command for the COMMAND key?I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key it hides all windows or shows desk top I need to correct this as soon as possible-.any ideas?

What is the default key command for THE COMMAND (apple) key? I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key (only) it hides all open windows and shows the desk top and when I push it again it shows all windows again...I need to return to default A.S.A.P. just this one key...Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

Go to
 > System Preferences > Keyboard
Click on the 'Keyboard' tab and hit the 'modifier keys...' button. You can see and change the defaults there.
As I'm not sure if all the labels are the same in Lion, he's a screenshot from Snow Leopard. It should be similar enough:

Close one tab at a time with key commands

Hi all,
I'm a big key command guy. I think I've figured out most things so I rarely have to go for the trackball and leave the keyboard.
But recently (I think since an upgrade to Safari, but I can't be 100% sure), my previous command-W that used to close the frontmost tab now closes the entire window...bummed! How do I get my key command back?
Thanks all.

Start with resetting all shortcuts to their defaults, restarting, and see if that fixes the problem. As I said, it works here w/o any changes made, so I suspect you or some other app mucked things up.

I have a new impulse 61 key board and i have garage band. when i hit a key the sound has a delay before i hear it, i also have it hooked up to a bose radio. is there a way to correct this delay?

I have a keyboard Impulse 61. I have it hooked up to the imac and then to a bose speaker thru bluetooth and i have a long sound delay from when i hit a key until i hear sound. Is ther a fix for this delay?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

What is the new key command to re-record a track- and delete the old one?

It used to be the - (minus) button on logic pro 7. I haven't been able to find it in the new one. or in the pdf manual. Anybody know of hand?
thank you

Open the Key Command window. Choose any command. Hit the learn button and type in the command. A message will appear telling you what the command is already assigned to. Then you can change it.

Key Command for Option Clicking a Marker

Option Clicking a Marker does just what I want. It sets the playhead to the beginning of that marker without selecting the marker. Now if I could make the Keypad behave the same way, I could save myself a lot of damage to my Marker tracks. Right now a keypad # selects the marker, moves the playhead to it and sets the locators around it. preferences to make this more granular would be welcome.
The option keypad numbers seem to be unused in the default key commands. Perhaps the option key could be set to trigger the same behaviour as option clicking a marker. it makes it intuitive (meaning I tried it.)

The only way I can think of is to use a Macro app like QuicKeys assigning a KeyStrokes to a sequence of two key commands:
For example:
ctr+opt+cmd+1 triggers 1 (go to Marker 1) followed by sh+opt+D (Deselect All)
ctr+opt+cmd+2 triggers 2 (go to Marker 2) followed by sh+opt+D (Deselect All)
ctr+opt+cmd+3 triggers 3 (go to Marker 3) followed by sh+opt+D (Deselect All)
You can assign the QuickKeys commands (ctr+opt+cmd+1, etc) to the keypads and they will move the Playhead to that Marker and selects the Marker. However, QuicKeys sends the second KeyCommand right away and deselects the Marker.
No deleting of selected Marker by accident anymore.
The KeyCommands in Logic are already very powerful, but when combined with QuicKeys (or any other Macro app) that lets you fire up a sequence of KeyCommands or mouse click on specific areas on the Logic interface per key commands, then it gets really powerful. Combine that with multi-touch gestures on your TrackPad using the amazing BetterTouchTool app, an you can take your customized workflow to a whole new level.
Hope that helps

Preview.app crashes whenever I use a key command

I've had this very annoying problem for quite a while now, and so far I haven't been able to find a solution for it.
Whenever I use a key command in Preview.app it either freezes or crashes or both. I can use all the menu options, just not trigger them with a key command.
So I can use the app just fine, just so long as I remember to not use the key commands, but it's just that having been using apple key commands since 1986 it's really hard to not acidentally hit any of them while in Preview.app, and every so often I accidentally do … sometimes losing unsaved changes in the process.
I'm not sure when the problem first occurred, but it dates back to Lion at least and it's still there in Mountain Lion as well.
I thought it might be some extension or some background app clashing with Preview.app, but when starting up holding shift the problem remains.
And the problem is local to my user account only, and Preview.app works just fine in other user accounts.
So I figured I'd just trash the Preview.app prefs and all would be well, but no go. Unless there are some more hidden prefs of some kind that I don't know about.
So, something local to my user account only screws up key commands in Preview.app only, and I can't figure out what or how to solve it.
I may end up having to migrate the contents and settings of my account to a new user account to solve this, but that soundsa lot like surrendering doesn't it? ;-)
And I thought I'd give it one more try to figure this out before I put myself through a migration process. ;-)
Ideas anyone?

Ha! Fixed it!
Kept reading all "Preview+plist" threads and found this one: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17195650#17195650
And sure enough, trashing ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview/ reset the preferences for Preview.app and now all key commands work without crashing.
But if erasing that folder, and more importantly the plist in it, did reset the preferences, that would suggest the preferences were being saved there. So I now changed the prefs and quit the app, and then trashed the containers folder again, and restarted the app. But strangely the prefs remained. So I thought, well if the prefs were being stored there, maybe erasing that plist made Preview reinstate the regular plist in the regular Preferences folder? But no go, as there's still no regular Preview plist in the regular Preferences folder.
So now, there's no regular plist, and erasing the Containers folder no longer resets the prefs, but changes to prefs are still being saved somewhere … so where the **** are they being saved now? It's like they just keep burrowing down further into the ground with every attempt to erase them. What the **** is going on? ;-)
Anyways, the initial problem is solved, so … maybe I should just let the mystery remain? ;-)

I think i hit a key command...
