About Logic Pro and its shortcuts

Logic Pro is a full music production environment, and its keyboard is deep enough to have its own window for managing it. The everyday commands cover transport and playback, moving between the main editors, and working with regions and tracks in the arrangement.

Logic ships several command sets and lets you build your own, so two studios rarely match. Many commands only apply in one editor, and Logic is Mac only, so there is no Windows column to compare.
