Numeric-pad 0 key-command behavior

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
