Grrr. I have an iMac with a compact keyboard, that is, without a keypad. Apparently copying cells to tracks in LogicPro X 10.5 requires command-home? I don't have a home button! Using command-fn-right arrow doesn't work. Hard to believe Apple would do this. Help.
I found it. From the manual:
Copy a scene to the Tracks area
In Logic Pro, in the Tracks area, set the playhead at the position where you want to paste cells in the scene as regions.
In the Live Loops grid, Control-click the scene and choose one of the following:
To shift the content of all tracks right of the playhead position by the length of the inserted scene: Choose Insert Scene at Playhead (or press Command-End or Command-Fn-Right Arrow).
To copy the scene to the playhead position: Choose Copy Scene to Playhead.
WARNING: When you copy a scene to the playhead position, any existing regions are overwritten or overlapped. »
And it works as described.

Sorry, I also missed you're referring to Logic Pro X 10.5. This was released just today. I didn't install it.
Did you look in the Keyboard Shortcuts Edit window to see what the assignment is?

I actually couldn't find it in there, though I wasn't sure what to search for.
I have established you can drag a scene into the tracks window, but the workflow suggested seems a no go if you don't have an extended keyboard.
Yes, Command - fn - Right Arrow on the keyboard of a MacBook Pro. You select a scene and the shortcut insert the cells as regions at the playhead position on the Tracks Area.
In the keyboard shortcut edit window look for something like "Insert scenes at the playhead position" to see the assignment.

When you say it works as described, are you using a compact Apple keyboard without dedicated keypad? command-fn-right arrow doesn't work — LPX throws up an error saying there's no undo command available.
It doesn't work when preceded by command. That's my point.
Also, sorry, I meant End, which is fn-right arrow normally.
I think I'm getting confused about when a scene is selected or not. It just worked for me. Hm. Thanks.
It took me some time to figure out.
If you look at my other post about the 10.5 release you will find a link to very useful videos.

To be clearer, I'm talking about LogicProX 10.5, and I'm talking about the "Insert an entire Live Loops scene into the Tracks area" instructions.
The Home button equivalent is fn + Left Arrow.

LogicProX uses Invalid Key Commands?
