Importing default key commands.

ALOHA! I had the keycommands acting crazy on a project I am working on, so as a quick fix to keep working I initalized them.
How do I import the default keycommands back to this project?

Note: You will lose your existing key command assignments if you make use of the Initialize functions, so ensure that you have created a copy of your Logic Preferences file before doing so.
Saving Key Commands
Your personal key assignments are stored in a separate Preferences file. You should:
• Make a backup of this file at another hard disk location.
• Make a backup on removable media (a CD-ROM, for example), in case you need to use Logic on another computer.
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.

  • 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:

  • Are the default key commands completely different in L9 compared to L8?

    Hi Guys,
    I have had to reset my key commands to the defaults, and seem to have lost all my old key commands.
    My commands with Logic 8 were the absolute default ones (I didn't change any of them!!) - here are some of the ones I used a lot:
    Pressing 0 on the numeric keyboard was always stop. "/" on the numeric keyboard was always cycle on/cycle off.
    Pressing control and using the up/down/left/ right arrows (the ones in between the QWERTY keyboard and the number pad) always zoomed in and out, vertically and horizontally respectively...
    Pressing the "C" key was always click on/click off. Now it's cycle on/off.
    My question is... can someone confirm that the Logic 9 default key commands are completely different, and that these shortcuts above have all gone?
    I know I can set them up again, I guess I'm just puzzled that so many of the main commands would completely change their defaults for L9!
    Cheers and thanks,
    Mike

    Some of the more in-depth key commands have changed slightly , but the standard ones are still the same.
    Most of these you've described are ( or should be still ) exactly the same.
    Make sure that you are still using the standard keyboard layout and language in *'Apple/system preferences/international/input menu'*
    Mine swiched to German a few months ago and I had no idea what was going on.

  • Logic X default key commands - I accidentally deleted them. How can I get them back?

    Logic X default key commands - I accidentally deleted them. How can I get them back? Is it necessary to reinitialize the program or can I get the key commands somewhere else? Thanks!

    Choose Logic Pro X > Key Commands > Edit
    From the Key Commands window, choose Options > Presets.
    What do you see in that menu? You should see something like this:

    How can I import my custom Key Commands from InDesign CS6 to InDesign CC?

    [Moving the thread to the InDesign Forum]
    While the best practice is to recreate any customizations you made from previous versions to the new version to prevent any hiccups, you can certainly try copying the .indk file from the V8 (InDesign CS6) folder to the V9 (CC) folder.
    Launch InDesign CS6, Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts > create a new set with all your custom keyboard shortcuts
    Launch InDesign CC, Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts > create a new set with the same set name as existed in CS6 but make no modifications
    Locate and copy the [set name].indk file in version 8 and replace it in version 9
    Repeat the above step for any custom sets you made
    Here's the path to locate the .indk file

  • 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.

  • How do I import key commands from Logic 9 to Logic X?

    I have downloaded key commands from a friend. They're very good and convenient and I would like to not set them all manually. That'll take a long time.
    So he just told me to download his key commands, and he showed me how to import them. However we couldn't export them. We think this is because we are using two different versions of Logic. He's using Logic 9 and I'm using Logic X. Is there a way to import his key commands or do we have to do it all manually?

    Hi
    You'll need to Export them from LP9, put that file on your Mac somewhere handy, then import into LPX (navigating to wherever you put  the LP9 keycommand file) Works fine here
    Looks like you may have done that, but the file you are trying to import has ".xml" on the end. Remove that so it's called "myname.logikcs"

  • 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

  • Can't assign personal key commands

    Hello,
    I recently had to reinstall Logic Pro 9 and neglected to backup/save my personal key commands.
    In reentering these commands I'm having a problem with one specific personal key command for Solo Off For All that Logic won't accept. I have gone into the Logic Preference>Key Commands, scrolled down to Solo Off For All clicked on the Learn By Key Label and entered my command which is the TAB key followed by the letter 's'. The 's' gets entered but nothing else. Before doing the delete and reinstall of Logic Pro this command had been working fine for me.
    Thanks and Best to All
    Lautarese

    Hi Bill,
    What you say makes sense. However I'm mystified as to why it worked for me before reinstalling Logic Pro from the Apps Store.
    I picked the TAB key because all the other modifiers seem to be used for default Key Commands that I'd rather not replace.
    Thanks Mate.
    Best,
    Jason

  • Cycle mode key command

    Hi. I know this may be trivial but I've been searching everywhere for a key command for toggling cycle mode with no success. Anyone who knows would be so kind to help. Also, is there a list of default key commands anywhere that can be found? I looked for it in the manuals but couldn't find it. Thanks in advance.

    Did you customise that yourself, or is it one of the language/region differences?
    I've been with Logic since Logic 1.x. I've been known to customise my own key commands plenty (which is the key to a powerful, fast, efficient and bespoke workflow).
    They evolve over time, of course. Like how they stopped letting you assign the tab key in LP8. Tab has been my "set rounded locators and play and cycle selection" for fifteen years until LP8... grr...
    I set up what makes most sense to me, not what makes most sense to some random guy in Hamburg.
    No one else works in Logic the exact same way as me, or uses the same functions in the same way. I set up the things I need to keys that make the most sense. I may constantly use function X and therefore assign to a single key, and never use function Y and so deassign it. You may rely on function Y but never user function X at all. So how can a generic set of key commands work optimally for every persons unique workflow and requirements?
    If you already know where to look & how to search!
    Yeah, of course. I'm just talking general cases really...
    The main problem is often not knowing what something is called, therefore not having the ability to easily search the documentation. That's where other users can give a valuable heads up.
    Eg type "key commands" into the search of the manual...

  • What's the key command : back to last "play position" after I do punch I/O?

    I have been try all key commands about "play " function ...
    but seems all key command will back to the last recording punch in point,but not back to the last "play" point...
    for example:
    move playhead to bar 5 and play, punch in at bar 9 and punch out at bar 11..when I hit stop,I wanna go back to "bar 5 and play" ,maybe do punch I/O at 10 ~12 this time ... is there any key command can make play head go back "bar 5 and play" ?(without setting any locator ..go to...or left window edge )
    thanx

    Hi
    If you imported your key commands from version 7 there can be problems in version 8.
    Try using one of the key command presets from version 8.

  • What is the key command to open Audition in Logic 8?

    The little play icon in the bin, sample editor, etc.
    The one for auditioning things.
    Doesn't work for me. The only way I can get, for example, a playback from cursor position in the sample editor--is to manually click on the little green play icon with the mouse. Same with the bin, loops, and so on.
    For many years I've had key commands to do this kind of thing, but it is broken for me since Logic 8. What is the key command for this called? I've tried disabling the space bar as a key command, and I've also tried re-enabling it for "play or stop". Although in the latter case, that should still function the way it does in the arrange window.
    Actually, I've tried a lot of things and I'm completely out of ideas.
    I posted on this subject several months ago and it remains unresolved. For the life of me I cannot get the audition button to work via any key command.
    Help?
    TIA

  • Advice needed on Key Commands presets in Logic

    Hi, just upgraded to Snow Leopard and Logic 9 and very happy. Now I'm planning to work more with key commands. While watching many Logic 9 tutorial video's on youtube etc. I find different Logic users seem to work with different (default) key commands. For example: on http://www.youtube.com/user/groove3Inc#p/search/2/BSE3VdlkZJM he's using Ctrl * for 'Capture as recording', while for me the default command is Ctrl Alt Cmd R
    Now my question is:
    1. What is the default / standard key command preset in Logic
    2. Which Key Command preset in Logic would be best to use (also considering that on a different location I sometimes work with Protools)
    3. Which Key Command preset in Logic would be best to use considering the many tutorials I find on the web
    Or any other advice / tips on key commands...
    Thanks!

    You can easily create your own set of key commands, according to your own needs. I mean, you still can learn some built-in key commands, but you can also change them as you please. Probably, in your case it might make sense to have the same set of key commands for both Logic and Pro Tools, to make life easier.

  • Where are the key commands?

    Hello,
    I have a second HD in my computer now and have already installed 10.3.9 and LP 7.1. Now I want to import my key commands from an other HD in the same computer. I don`t know where I can find them and what is their name.
    By the way: Can anyone tell me if I can update my LP at the moment (because of Panther) and if it is useful?
    Thanks,
    Knödel

    They are probably preferences from earlier Emagic versions of Logic, probably version 6.
    Yes, you should update to 7.1.1, and no, it's not much better, some small bugfixes, that's all.

  • Saving Key Commands . . .

    Okay. I did a search and read the posts on here (there are, of course, several relating to the issue of Key Commands) . . . but - sorry - I'm still not getting it. The com.apple.logic.pro.plist file . . . what about it? The posts say that it's THAT file that has the key commands in it . . . but I don't know what to DO with that file once I find it.
    As per one post, I moved it from the preferences folder to the desktop, then I opened Logic, and then opened my KC window (in Logic) and clicked on the "import key commands" button, and went to select the file I just moved to the desktop, but it didn't let me import it. Unfortunately, I initialized all my KC's before doing this, thinking that it would work . . . and it didn't . . . So I lost all my personal KC's . . .
    So how is it exactly that KC's are saved?
    One of the commads in the KC window in Logic says "save Key Commands". When I click that, it says something like "now your key commands can be saved as text on your desktop", but it doesn't tell you HOW to do that, or how to find it, access it . . . etc . . .
    Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm simply just not getting it.
    Is there a KC file OUTSIDE of Logic where I can see my KC's?
    Ugh . . .
    Thank you for all your help, everyone, in advance,

    Hallo. It is possible to import another KEy Commands "file". I am not in studio right now but I try to describe best I can:
    There is the "plist" file in Preferences folder but this file is not what you are looking for. In the same directory (I guess it is user/Library/Preferences ) there is a FOLDER called com.applle.LogicPro or similar. Inside THIS folder there are more files and maybe another folder probably. One of the files IS actually the file with your Logic preferences, where the keycommands are "stored". This file should have some kind of Logic icon, the file you mentioned -if I remember things right - has only a blank white clipping icon or so... when I was importing keycommands after reinstalling the system, in Keycommands window in Logic I choosed "Import" from the menu in toreehat window (it is under "Initialize" and so...) and in the popup window I found my old Logic prefs file which I stored on different HD as a backup before reinstalling the system.... After I choosed this file another popup window opened and it said something like "..Your current "preferences" file is now stored as "preferences.bak" " . Which means that as soon as you import keycommands from somewhere else, your current keycommands should be stored as a backup if you want to recall them back. I am sorry I do not remember the proper name of the "preferences" file, but again you can find it inside the folder called probably com.apple.LogicPro inside user/Library/Preferences.

Maybe you are looking for
