  Show Detailed Help    ⌘/

This is the fastest way to find out how something works. Open the Key Commands Edit window (⌥K), type in a bit of the command name so it appears in the list. Move the cursor over the command and type ⌘/ — if there is help available it will open in the help window.

Remarkably useful.

How to get help — Logic Pro X

Logic Pro provides several ways for you to get answers to questions, learn about controls and functions while you’re working, and view detailed information about all aspects of the app. You can also view information directly in the app using the Quick Help feature.

  Add Selected Models

Control Surfaces Setup. Adds the selected control surface models.

Add a control surface to Logic Pro — Apple SupportSome control surfaces such as Mackie Control are detected automatically when you open Logic Pro. You can add other devices that are not detected automatically using the Setup window. Installation is covered in the setup section for your particular device. Some devices may require different or additional steps, but in most cases you only need to select the name of the device you want to use with Logic Pro, then add it. When you add a control surface device, it is represented by an icon in the Device area of the Control Surface Setup window.

Older versions of the online help documentation have been removed (checked 2020-09-29). Added link to new support version of the documentation. I am not a fan of the modern support version of the help documentation.

  Nudge Region/Event Position Left by SMPTE Bit

One of the many nudge commands that can be used without having to set the Nudge Value before using. I would program keyboard commands for the nudge events, probably arrow keys with modifiers. Another useful possibility would be to program the keypad in an arrow pattern — 8 (up) 2 (down) 4 (left) 6 right.

Move regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can move regions to a different point in the same track, or move them to another track of the same type. You can move an audio region to another audio track, for example, but not to a software instrument track, or vice versa. You can also move regions between open Tracks area windows, or between different open projects.

The X-Touch (MCU) has nudge features pre-defined. I would probably use this if I had the X-Touch in front of a display. Currently it is not feasible.
