Shift click in project no longer moves playhead

I updated to Logic Pro version 12.4 today and can no longer shift+click in the timeline to move the playhead, a feature I found very useful for quickly and easily moving the playhead to review edits on the fly.


I'm unsure whether this is an issue with my Mac or if anyone else is missing this. There's no mention of it in the update notes so I wonder if this is a bug. I don't see why it would be removed as it was much easier than clicking in the timeline ruler at the top of the project window.

MacBook Pro (M3 Pro, 2023)

Does anyone know the actual "name" of this function in the key commands list ? I have opened a 11.2.2 to check and the shortcut works of course but I can not find what this function would be called. I would like to try to create it 12.4 but, No luck so far.

Broadly speaking, there are 2 types of key commands in Logic: 'user-definable' ones via Logic Pro >Key Commands, and other 'hard-wired' ( non-customisable) ones.


The Shift click to move Playhead function is one of the 'hard-wired' ones.
