Is there a way to write an add-on / extension / applet? Logic could use "Command-K" / cmd search

Hi! I'm wondering if it's even possible to write something like an extension that can be used in Logic Pro to provide quick access to Logic Pro's actions/functionalities.

  • An example of what I'm thinking is IntelliJ's Command Palette or Visual Studio Code's Command Palette
  • The extension could be activated on a command (such as Command K) and then used to search and trigger Logic Pro actions.... My main interest is being able to quickly access actions without clicking or memorizing the keyboard shortcuts...

Are such things even possible to create in Logic? If Logic is locked, is there conceivably a workaround that can be it's own app that lives in the macOS layer (e.g. Karabiner Elements) and trigger actions within Logic Pro?

 

example command palettes, for reference.

Not directly in Logic.

You can program macros in things like Keyboard Maestro to do similar things though, to drive Logic's interface programmatically. And there is another tool optimised for remote controlling DAWs, but I forget it's name right now...

Thanks. I went down the rabbithole a minute and found a LogicProHelp member @speakerfoodhas done some amazing work in the same vein via PlugSearch 3. Something to work on after my first album is out I guess 🙂
