Ever find yourself mousing over to the tool buttons to switch to the tool you want to use? The Esc key provides quicker access to the tools available for the window you are working in. After pressing escape the tools can be selected with the mouse or by using the corresponding keyboard shortcut.
BONUS TIP: Pressing the Esc key twice will reset the selected tool back to the Pointer Tool.
Don’t like the shortcut key that is assigned to a function? Want to assign a shortcut for a function that you commonly use? You can press Ctrl+K to quickly access the keyboard shortcut window to make any changes you would like. You can even change the shortcut for the Keyboard Shortcut settings!
By default Logic opens the last project you worked on automatically when you launch the app. However, if you aren’t opening Logic to work on that project it can be time consuming while you wait on it to finish loading just so you can close it.
Luckily, you can bypass this behavior by holding the Option key while Logic is opening. Logic will open and show the menu bar at the top of the screen without performing the default startup action so you can chose to start a new project or open an existing project.
This Blog is where you'll find the Logic shortcuts and features that we're obsessing about this week. They may be new features, old ones revisited, or just a hotkey we never knew existed.
