Logic Pro X 10.2.1 - Tool menu keys changed to letters.

How to edit key command no logic pro 10.2.0

Because it's not possible for me

Use the Menu option

Logic Pro X > Key Commands > Presets and select a pre-existing preset like Logic pro 9 if you still have that installed.. or Edit to edit your own.....

Hi The Art of Sound!

Tried it,doesnt work for me.

It changed in key commands to numbers t,but my habit was to hit ESC button (which would open toolbox menu) and then hit the number for the tool i want to pick,which would select the right tool. Now it doesnt work that way (doesnt select the tool after hitting ESC I mean),but if I hit just button number instead ,without hitting ESC first (which was assigned to switching between screen sets earlier), it selects it.

Its all about the habit ,so how do i change it to work like it was - in conjunction with ESC button?

Thank you

Did you not have a Logic Pro 9 option under the Key Commands presets menu? That preset uses the older ESC method still...

If not then you will need to set things up yourself using the Key Command editor... Logic Pro X > Key Commands > Edit

Type tool into the editor's search bar and reassign keys to what you wish to do... Be careful you don't cause conflicts however with other assigned commands in the process...

Personally re-learning to use the T command and then the letter.. is a lot less work, but each to their own... 🙂

No Logic 9 shortcuts...

I did it,but it behaves without ESC button! And actually,it worked well until this 10.2.1 came out,10.2.0 was fine!

Select Show Tool Menu item on left hand side..

Clkick Learn by Key Postion on right hand side.

Press Escape key

That should now bring up the key menu.... when you close the key command window and press the escape key

Once you assign numbers to each of the tools.. using the same method.. pressing the number will now work too..

Just tested this and works fine here..

doesnt wok 😟

Tried with Learn by Key Position and Key label - both (Whats the difference btw?)

Pressing ESC now brings up tool box menu,however,the tools in it are with LETTERS and if i hit number (with assigned tool to number beforehand) it doenst select tool from the toolbox

what the **** did they do.

Just to confirm you no longer have this option?

nope,the Pro Tools is last in this list

Make sure you have assigned a number from the main keyboard and not a number from the keypad... (You will see a keypad symbol before the number in the assign window if you have)

...its funny

Cause i see some symbol before number IF i choose "Learn by Key POSITION" and dont see if i choose "Learn by key LABEL"

But the funniest ,that i have a keyboard with no addition numbers (short apple wireless keyboard)

I tried both Key Label and Key Position - didnt work

Ok.. after further work on my testbed 10.10.5 system here..

I can confirm they have now apparently hardwired the Letters to the Tools... so you cannot change them

You can get the ESC to work but not reassign numbers to the tool commands themselves...

No idea why.....Maybe a report via the feedback form would be a good idea...

So at the moment, you can either try rolling back to 10.2 using your backups or...get used to the new system...

Cant think of any other fix given the apparent hard wiring...

Note: I tested out the older LP9 key command file and the same behavior is now noted after updating to 10.2.1 so that doesn't help either.

😟

Thank you for your time and testing!

I dont know what to do.

Do you think,its possible to downgrade to 10.2? I havent tried it yet...

Actually I might know why.. They may have also hardwired the numbers to the "window' commands now...
