Grizzly Jones Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I noticed the * is for record but when i hit the 8 or * button to record in Logic it does not record. Is this the correct key command for this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 I noticed the * is for record but when i hit the 8 or * button to record in Logic it does not record. Is this the correct key command for this ? First make sure it's really assigned to record on your machine (Logic 8 now has it assigned to "R" on laptops). If it is, then try Fn-P (notice the little * on the P key?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwest37206 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Grizzly, Default is "*" of the numeric keypad at the right of the apple keyboard. NOT the numerals above the letter keys. Hope this helps. David, thanks for the command equivalents list. That's a useful reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulSC Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I get the "on numeric keypad" symbol whenever I make a key command assignment using "Learn by Key Position" -- even if the key position is NOT on the numeric keypad (e.g. if it's a regular alphabetical key). http://pnauert.googlepages.com/not-keypad.png What's up with that?

Same here! I always thought that the little rectangular icon ment that it was learned by key position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears you're right! My mistake. I have a lot of custom key commands that I am forced to use due to the Swedish keyboard that I'm using. For some of the commands I was forced to use the "Leran by key label" option to get them to recognise the key. Thats how I found the meaning.

lyghtningrod Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I just learned this a few days ago, thought I'd share it. system preferences --> international --> input menu --> keyboard viewer check it, then close out of system preferences. An American (or other national) flag will appear in the upper right menu bar. Click on the flag and click Show Keyboard Viewer A floating keyboard will appear and shadow all your moves on the computer keyboard. And best of all, it shows ALL the right symbols that Apple uses. You can have more than one keyboard in the list, so you can switch between two languages. Just scroll down and pic the maps you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyghtningrod Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi,thanks this is most helpful. ever seen this one: thanks so much! -Shay I just found out a whole new set of symbols appear if you press the Option key, and a second set appear if you press Shift-Option. The symbol you ask for § is Option 6. ` ¡ ™ £ ¢ ∞ § ¶ • ª º – ≠ That is Option and the top row of the keyboard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cquencer Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Logic's key command equivalents Nice, incomplete though, since it assumes the user has a keyboard with a numeric keypad. For those on a Macbook (without a numeric keypad): Home = fn + ← End = fn + → Page Up = fn + ↑ Page Down = fn + ↓ Should one ever want to tweet a shortcut, use http://mackeys.info/ if you're really really worried about how Unicode will render, use http://mothereff.in/html-entities Id like to stress that both sites are not mine. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 For those on a Macbook (without a numeric keypad): Home = fn + ← End = fn + → Page Up = fn + ↑ Page Down = fn + ↓ Thank you for adding that information.

David Nahmani Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 What's the quickest way to repeat the last command without having to go back and click on the same toolbar button? Use the equivalent key command perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facej Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 did I miss the entry about the ENTER key? On non-extended keyboards it is FN+RETURN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
