Key commands are not stored in a separate file

Question

On page 44 in the Logic Reference it says that key commands are stored in a separate preference file.
But that's not right is it? I believe the key commands are stored in the general preferences file for logic.

Answer 1

I believe it's actually a mistake in the manual and in
the way Logic is supposed to work.
I don't, as Logic has stored the key commands within the Logic preferences files since version 1.
What's probably happening is that when you use the setup assistant, the various template key commands (Pro Tools one and so on) are stored in various files. The setup assistant puts the necessary startup template keycommands file into the prefs directory, which when Logic loads, it sees them, parses them and inserts them into the preferences, which then behave like normal.
It saves the setup assistant from accessing Logic's preference files directly.
