Zoom to fit Selection horizontally, store Navigation Snapshot — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Zoom to fit Selection horizontally, store Navigation Snapshot

Expand the currently selected region to fill the window horizontally. Save the current zoom setting in the Navigation Snapshot before zooming. Use the ‘Navigation: Back’ and ‘Navigation: Forward’ commands to cycle through the views.

I need to practice these commands while working on the laptop with the smaller screen. Combine with Marquee selection.

Sadly, the Logic Pro documentation “forgot” to mention or describe the quite useful ‘Navigation Snapshot’ commands. The use of these commands is described in the very beginning of the Logic Pro 9 manual. Hopefully these commands are not deprecated.

Logic Pro 9 User Manual: Zooming the Working Area

Using Zoom Navigation Key Commands
You can set, and recall, up to 30 zoom level and scroll bar positions for each window. These allow you to navigate through a number of window zoom levels and scroll bar positions, making repetitive editing tasks much faster.

Zoom Logic Pro windows — Apple Support

When you zoom in or out, the top-left (and selected) event or region remains in the visible area of the screen. If no selected region or event is visible, zooming is centered around the playhead. If the playhead isn’t visible, the current center of the window is retained.
You can store three different zoom settings for each window using the Save as Zoom 1–3 key commands. Use the Recall Zoom 1–3 key commands to recall your zoomed settings. These commands only apply to the active window or window area.

Select Last, or Shift Marquee Selection Right ⇧↘ — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Select Last, or Shift Marquee Selection Right ⇧↘

That’s shift-end. If you are shifting in a MIDI region the selection point moves to the end of the current note (or to the start of the next note).

Select parts of regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

Press Shift–End (the default Select Last, or Shift Marquee Selection Right key command).

I also learned this remarkably useful Marquee selection tip…

Select parts of regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

If you start recording after making a marquee selection, Autopunch mode is activated, and the marquee selection is replaced by the punch locators. All tracks within the marquee selection are record-enabled, and all other tracks are record-disabled.
