Intro

Logic Pro on Mac documents its key commands per window and editor rather than one flat list. Global commands like Record and Play/Stop work everywhere; the Mixer, Piano Roll, Step Sequencer, and every other editor add their own on top.

Mac-specific shortcut notes

Global transport. R starts recording, Space bar plays or stops, and Command-Z/Shift-Command-Z undo and redo from anywhere in the app.

Tool switching. The Tool menu shortcuts (P for Pencil, E for Eraser, I for Scissors, and more) switch the active editing tool with a single key, without opening the Tool menu.

Numeric keypad duplicates. A few global commands (Record/Record Toggle, Play, Pause, Stop) have a numeric-keypad-specific variant, marked in Apple's own docs; those use the physical numpad key rather than the number row.

Per-editor depth. Piano Roll, Score Editor, the Step Sequencer, and the Sampler each carry a large additional set of their own key commands, active only while that editor or window has focus.

Printable PDF

The Logic Pro shortcut list for Mac is available as a printable PDF. The global commands and track-editing shortcuts are the ones worth keeping nearby.
