can't recall 2-digit screensets w/key command

Howdy,

Still getting my feet wet with Logic 9, and I just noticed a biggie: I can't use the usual method of recalling 2-digit screensets anymore! When I hold CTRL + type the first digit, Logic changes to that screenset and never get to enter the 2nd digit.

For example, if you want screenset 29, you're supposed to type CTRL-2 then 9. Not happening here - is this working for anyone else?

early 2008 Mac Pro 8-core Xeon; 16GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hi

Yep, I've had intermittent issues with this today (on PPC and on Intel). A re-launch of Logic seemed to fix it for a while.

Still trying to track it down.

I just updated my PPC computer running Logic 8.02 to Leopard 10.5.8 and installed the ProKit update.

I am now experiencing this broken screenset bug.

Perhaps it is tied to the OS or Prokit Update?

Try disabling Spaces in the OSX System preferences or check that ctrl +2 is not listed in
Keyboard & Mouse >Keyboard Shortcuts preferences

Hi immo,

I've never liked Spaces so it's always been disabled.

I don't see a "ctrl +2" in the Keyboard and Mouse prefs. Do you mean "ctrl command 2"? That's not enabled either.

Also, I just rebooted the machine and ran Logic again and I still experience the same broken screenset behaivor.

Just for the record, upon updating my MacBook Pro to 10.5.8 and the latest Prokit update I get the same broken screenset bug there too.

Interestingly enough, I can access a second bank of screensets from 11 to 20 by first pressing the "0" (zero) key (that's not on the keypad), and then another number. The selection is offset by +1, ie:

Press "0" followed by "0" for screenset 11
Press "0" followed by "1" for screenset 12
etc.

Since I only use 18 screensets this question is solved for me. Hopefully this workaround will help out the original thread starter.

Cheers!

Hey immo, I just noticed that you're still on 10.5.7. That's probably why it's working fine. Hopefully there will be a 10.5.9 to fix all the new nonsense caused by 10.5.8. It never ends...

Yep I'm on 10.5.7 still on this computer as I'm working on something important...I try it at some point on my other Mac just out of curiosity to see if it's OS related...

Hey Guys,

I figured this out. All you have to do is delete the current key commands ("go to screenset 1x and so on) and set them again - that brings them back to life.

I've often noticed that major version updates require resetting some key commands. There were some others too for me - same applies: just delete any that aren't working and reset them.

I also noticed that Apple has graciously ⚠ allowed us to use all the function keys in Logic 9 - but yeah, beware of any conflicts with Spaces, Expose, etc.

Hope that helps,

Jim
