Key Command for Snapping

I've found that turning off "snapping" at certain times is just as useful as turning it on are at others. Sure would be useful if there was a key command for toggling this feature on and off. Anyone know if there is such a command? If not, perhaps Apple can consider it for the next iteration.

I gotta bring up one of my favorite third-party utilities for the Mac, QuicKeys. QuicKeys lets you create macros that do simple tasks and complex tasks. You can assign a keystroke to do just about anything on your Mac.
You can assign your own keystroke to a menu command. Or perform complex tasks, like open the iMovie preferences window, set the snap checkbox, then close the window. Macros can even be intelligent. "If the snapping checkbox is off, turn it on. Otherwise leave it on."
So for tasks done several times a day, I often create a QuicKeys command.
An example. A QuicKeys command for Safari just italicised that word and made this one bold. First QuicKeys typed the HTML tag for italics, then moved the cursor to the middle of the tag so Safari was ready for me to type the italicized text.

PS: And Quickeys does not force me to add the tag to the end of the message, unlike those pesky formatting buttons above.

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:

__ Is there a way to adjust the key commands for switching channels in curves?
By that I mean <command> + 1 for cyan, <command> + 2 for magenta etc. like Photoshop CS3 rather than <option> + 3 for cyan etc.
There's gotta be a way under Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts - but I can't find it!
Thanks,

Key Command for "Go to Next Marker" doesn't work properly

Hi there!
While using Logic Pro 9.1.8 with Mountain Lion (10.8.2), it seems that the Key Command for "Go to Next/Previous Marker" doesn't work properly.
The only effect is, that a grey rectangle moves in the top of the Arrange Area while ignoring the Markers itself.
Any suggestions to solve it or is it me that is misbehaving?
Cheers, GJ

Hi
The commands work correctly here on the same OS etc: Cycle Locators jump to the next/prev marker and the Playhead jumps to the Start of the Marker.
Default KC are Control Command +Arrow Left/right
Step 1: check you are using the correct key command :-)

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

Key Command for Closing Plug Windows Gone 4-Ever?

I know there's a command for hiding plugin windows, but that's not quite the same thing... I'm sorely lamenting the (apparent) loss of the L7 key command for closing plugin float windows. Seems like it's a mouse-only operation now.
Or is it? Please let me know if I'm missing anything (including a crafty workaround)...

hi, perhaps V( hide/show plugins window)?

Key commands for part box missing in Logic Pro X

The manual mentions several key commands for selecting objects in the part box, that would make this a very efficient step time input program, but they don't exist in the key command list.
Can anyone help? All I want to do is select note or pause values with one hand while inputting pitc from a midi controller keyboard.

Thanks for this reply. You are correct I am actually running 10.9 and fully up to date on software updates for August 2014. My bad, thought I had taken the most recent option from the drop down menu.
I have been able to fix the issue but going into Library/ApplicationSupport/Logic and removing the 'drummer' folder. I also went into the plugins folder and removed 'drum presets'. I put all removed files onto a new folder on my desktop.
When I tried to open a drummer track Logic detected that the files were missing and prompted me to download the missing 'drummer files' once the download was complete, drummer operated correctly with all drummers available again.
I went back into the file system again and moved some of the drum presets that I had initially moved out (I had originally acquired these when I first installed Logic and did a lengthy additional content download) that had not re-downloaded back into 'drum presets'. All drumkits were now available too.
If the issue occurs again I'll take a look at Spotlight file reindexing - would be worth a try and probably quicker. It would make sense that the underlying issue here is one around the drummer sampler code having issues around indexing the sample data.

Where did my "back" button go & is there a key command for it?

Two questions:
1. Somehow I lost my "back" and "forward" buttons. There where there one day and now they're gone. I have a refresh button, an add bookmark button and a go to homepage button but the others have vanished. Where have they gone?
2. Are there key commands for "back" and "forward?" It sure would make surfing easier.
Thanks!

Go to your Safari View Menu and select Customize ToolBar. There you'll be able to drag/drop the back/fwd buttons to the bar.
Quickkey command -
back command key + [
forward - command key + ]
These key prompts are listed in the History Menu.

Key Command for Selecting All in Stack?

- Hi, I'm wondering if there is a key command that I missed that allows you to select all items in a stack when it is collapsed?
I'm mostly using Bridge for the Stacks feature. I actually prefer to use cataloging programs for DAM. But shooting HDR, stacks are a must!
But when I want to do things with the images in a stack, such as deleting them all, opening in Photoshop (individually or to merge), etc., it only selects the top image by default.
I must be missing something. It's a drag to have to open/close all the time.
And a separate but related issue:
- Does anyone know why all stacks are removed when you do a Batch Rename on a set of photos?
I let Photoshop churn for 30min. + on the 'combine HDR/Panorama into stacks' command. Got all my HDR sets grouped nicely as stacks. Then decided to batch rename them and presto - no more stacks! Had to do it all over again!!!

Hi Kenny,
To apply a command to all photos in a collapsed stack, you must select them all by clicking the stack border, not the top image. See
Stack files in Bridge Community Help.
I'm not sure about the batch rename issue that you describe. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.

Key Command for Rewind

I'm a new to mac and logic so sorry if this is obvious to some. I'm trying to figure out the keyboard shortcut for rewind. I found the key commands page and next to "rewind" is a rectangle of 3 columns of 4 dots followed by something that looks like a single ant dropping (It's not clear to me if it's a period, comma or even and "i" or the number 1 because the font is so tiny that zooming in is useless). Can someone tell me what these symbols mean or even better just what the rewind shortcut key is? I can't find anything on the keyboard that looks like this. Thanks!

Hi
That would be the "," (comma), next to M
While we are at it, forward is "." (full stop/period).
The labels on the keys also have < and > which can be helpful as a reminder.

Key command for "undo" not customizable anymore?

Hi!
In the LP8 manual the key cmd. for "undo" is claimed to be exchangeable by the user, but it is not (dimmed).
I used to set it to <cmd.-y) - similar to protools, because <cmd.-z> is a rel cripple grip.
it still works with importing my old LP7 prefs, but is reset to <cmd.-z> each time I launch LP8 again.
Help!
cheers!

hm - final cut's key commands are fully custumizable, too (at least until FCP5) wich is an apple app even more than logic.
an other reason might be this: when setting for example <y> for undo in LP7, you can't use the y in the save-as.. dialog box for naming anymore, because the y will be interpreted as undo. that's why I chose <cmd.-y>.
and why restricting only the system shortcuts if there was the "danger" of getting too familiar with those, what about "stop", "play", "rew", "mute", "solo", "divide", etc.? those commands exist in other apple apps as well.
I must admit, that I am just too clumsy for typing <cmd.-z> on a german keyboard more than twice a month. but my editing temper requires a lot more.
where to get detailed instructions for changing the system shortcuts in general?
cheers!

Key Command for "Bold" / Helvetica Neue is "Bold Cndenced"...

As the title reads...with Helvetica Neue the command "shift+command+b" is set to bold in my preferences....but with this fond it changes it to condensed bold...as I've read this might be implanted into the font itself......anyone have some ideas how I can set a key command to bold this font?? I have tons of bolding to do .... =(
thanks

@Emperor1212 – I bought an additional keyboard with a numeric keypad because of this and because of the problem that I cannot work the enter key to start a script from the JavaScript console in Acrobat Pro (and there is no button for executing code from that console!) without the numeric keypad.
Hm, what else…
One could write a script for changing formatting of a selected text to a specific character style or a specific formatting.
That script could be assigned to a keyboard shortcut.

Key command for cleaning HD

Is there a 2 key step command for cleaning HD ?

No, thank heavens! That would invite accidents!
Why do you want to 'clean' your hard drive?

Key command for instantiation

yes, i hate the word, too - it makes everyone who says it sound like a douche bag, not least because it doesn't mean 'insert', as is commonly believed, but 'represent'.
nevertheless - is there a key command that will cause a plug-in to appear in every channel in the mix window (say, eq for example)? going through and setting up each one individually is getting to be a bit much.
thanks.

In the MIXER, select all the tracks you want to put the plugins into...
Then put the plugin into one of the selected tracks..
boom-- all selected tracks now have that plugin.
Same is true for setting up sends.
Setting up my default song, I select Every channel in the mixer,
put a compressor and an EQ on all of them at the same time.
And also set up all of their sends at the same time.
slammin.
