Show/Hide All Tracks with Same Channel Strip/Instrument
Multiple tracks can use the same channel strip or instrument. This command toggles the visibility of the tracks. This can cause lots of channel strips to be visible in the mixer when only one is actually necessary.

Create Flex Marker At Next Transient
Places a Flex Marker at the next transient. Shifting timing of sound is a very helpful tool. Pay very close attention to any artifacts that might be introduced when moving time…
Time stretch using flex markers — Logic Pro X
In the Tracks area, you edit the timing of audio material using flex markers. After adding flex markers to an audio region, you use them to time stretch—compress or expand—the audio material. The boundaries within which this is done are determined by the preceding and following flex markers, or the region start and end positions if there are no preceding and following flex markers.

Quick Help Follows Pointer
This is an important setting. Logic Pro X has an extensive help system that can be displayed in various ways.
The simple method, after enabling Quick Help, shows a ‘tool tip’ window in yellow containing help for whatever is currently beneath the cursor. Quite handy, but it can be visually annoying.
You can cause the help info to be displayed in a small Quick Help window by making sure this option is un-checked. The option is in the Help menu. The location of the Quick Help window is the top of the Inspector column in the main window.
You can drag the Quick Help window out of the main window and position it anywhere on the screen that you would like. This becomes very useful for screensets that do not have the main window open.
If you have an iPad running “Logic Remote” connected to your session you can put the Quick Help window onto the iPad using one of the built-in commands.
I need to use “Logic Remote” more often.
