Sir Hannes Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Hi, key command "Close window" is on key "2" and closes every selected window. If I re-assign it to "Shift+P" the same entry closes now ALL windows, beside the selected one. Anyone can confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscwilde Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I take it this is a totally custom key command set? By default in the US key command set: Key "2" will open screenset 2. Cmd-W is the default Close Window key command. Shift-P is assigned to Search Sample Peak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, works just fine here, even with the highly unusual KC assignments you chose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 It's worth checking you don't have multiple commands assigned to the same keypress, so you're not actually triggering the command you *think* you're triggering, in case that's the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hannes Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Thanks for confirming, Forum! 🙂 Only one command is listed in the corresponding line in the keyboard window, no touchbar, no MIDI etc. Will investigate further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Hannes Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 (edited) The "one command" is of course: Shift + P for "Close Window" (EDITED) I checked if this is double assigned, but no. I closed all 3rd party (also background) software, but the behavior stays. Weird! Edited April 23 by Sir Hannes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 So it looks like "2" is assigned to "Recall Screenset 2" as @oscwilde pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hannes Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 (edited) Screensets are "banned" here, I do not use them so I deleted keycommands for them so they do not interact. Also, I would see if it is a screenset as the windows are collapsing and building up again. I checked macOS preferences in each single App where shortcuts are assigned: no Shift + P.

Open your key command assignments window in Logic Pro. Make sure the search field is cleared then click in the list of commands so that it has focus. Now press "2" on your keyboard. What is "2" assigned to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hannes Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Hm, I tried Shift+Ctrl+P, then Shift+Ctrl+N - these all close all windows. I set it to another letter which was unused: only the selected window was closed. Haha, I am lost 😄 "2" is assigned to nothing, as it was assigned to "Close Window" before, by myself. Before I change key commands I delete the line to not interrupt with multiple commands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hannes Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 "Y" works as well. Could be a problem with modifier I suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I see. I just tested here and it does not matter what keyboard combination I assign to "Close Window", be it '2' or 'Shift-P', it works as expected and closes the top window. Do you have any other utility that may be messing with your key commands on your systems? If not, try to quickly create a new user on your Mac and see if the key commands behave for that user?

Sir Hannes Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Yes, I would agree its about another utility, although all of these I terminated for testing purposes. I figured out that this is only behaving weird with the plugin windows, but floating windows are not effected. There, the key command works as expected. Additionally these modifier+Y are working, others (below) not: Cmd+Shift+Y Alt+Shift+Y Missbehaving: Shift+Y Ctrl+Shift+Y Will investigated why this happens with plugin windows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I was able to reproduce what you're describing ... and you're right, it is completely weird. 🤔 Bug confirmed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hannes Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 And I just returned from "Guest Mode" with a totally blank LogicPro, reassign that shortcut and experiencing: the same. This is one of the weirdes bugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Agreed! Moving this to the Bug section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polanoid Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 It's not that weird when one takes into consideration that the Shift modifier indeed ensures that all plug-in windows are closed (just try out by clicking on one plug-in window's close button while holding Shift). So the bug really is that, if the key command is a combination of only the Shift modifier and one other key, Logic will not ignore that modifier later on when it executes the key command. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polanoid Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I was not able to reproduce anything unusual when "Close Window" is assigned to "2" (or any other numeric key for that matter) though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hannes Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Solution/ fix under the premiss that you own any 3rd-party-App which overwrites Logics internal key commands. I use BTT (https://folivora.ai) and the trick is to differentiate left or right modifier as the bug appears only with the left shift-button. I solved it: 1. In LogicPro keep Shift+P 2. in BTT set up two commands: 2a) select differentiate and press left Shift + P => I sent out a short HUD "LogicBug, use right Shift" 2b) select differentiate and press right Shift + P 2c) add to the last the key stroke "Shift+P". At least for now this works and I can continue with my personal layout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polanoid Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Well, if you insist on using a Shift-modifier KC for this, this is probably a good solution 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hannes Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Hahaha, yes I do 😉 It's a matter of brain muscles. I have to follow my guidelines to keep up logic. If I am working on sound and music, my creative flow must go on, and anything which blocks me, reduces my output. If I am doing crazy stuff which no computer nor system nor app is meant to be used, than I agree, I will then overthink and change my approach 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that simple because if a normal window is selected, then Shift + Y closes only the top window, but if a plug-in window is selected, then Shift + Y closes all plug-in windows.
