text is a tough way to do audio — ⇧ SHIFT — ⌃ CONTROL — ⌥ OPTION — ⌘ COMMAND
Select First, or Shift Marquee Selection Left ⇧↖
Shift-Home. The Shift Right command is Shift-End.
Yes, the Marquee selection moves to the right or the left, but I cannot figure out what is used to determine how far to shift.
Mystery challenge of the day.
Select parts of regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support
Press Shift–Home (the default Select First, or Shift Marquee Selection Left key command).

Toggle Auto Set Locators
That’s a very nifty, hidden set of commands there. I went hunting in the ‘Key Commands’ and could only find ‘Toggle Auto Set Locators’. There appear to be no sub-commands for the options of
by Marquee selection
by Region selection
by Note selection
but there is a hint that the ‘Auto Set Locators’ command can be found in the global menu. Where? Good question.
At the bottom of the Navigate menu I find ‘Auto Set Locators’ and the variations.
Using the Marquee selection to automatically set the cycle area would improve my workflow nicely…I can see the cycle range on the ruler far easier than seeing the Marquee ruler, and if Cycle is on it is very clear where the Marquee selection is.
The ‘Auto Set Locators’ menu items can be discovered by holding down the mouse on the ‘Cycle’ button in the Control Bar.

Move Locators Forward by 1 Bar
Change the locator positions forward by one bar.
Setting the locators based on the Marquee selection makes a lot of sense for my workflow. I need to remember to keep the Marquee ruler visible. Many commands are available from the contextual menu (control-click) on the Marquee menu.

By Marquee Selection: The locators (and the cycle area) are set to the borders of the marquee selection in the marquee stripe.
Select parts of regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X
Control-click the marquee stripe, then choose Set Locators by Regions/Events/Marquee from the shortcut menu.

Set Rounded Locators by Regions/Events
I frequently use the ‘Set Rounded Locators by Regions/Events and Enable Cycle’ command. Select an area with the Marquee tool and type ‘U’.
Use the cycle area — Logic Pro X
Set Rounded Locators by Regions/Events/Marquee: Rounds the position of the locators to the barline that is nearest to the beginning and end points of the selected regions or events, or the marquee selection.

Move Locators Backwards by 1 Bar
Another set of commands missing from the Logic Pro X documentation. Missing from Logic Pro 9 as well.
The Cycle Length movement is probably most common.
All of these interesting things can be found by control-clicking in the Marquee stripe — effectively the bar numbers or time ruler.
It is very useful to have the Marquee ruler visible. You can see where the Marquee selection is even if the regions are scrolled off the screen.
