Logic: Where custom key commands get stored

Logic Pro and Logic Express give you the ability to customize the key commands that trigger various commands and functions. Logic stores these key commands in its preference file. It's a good idea to keep a backup copy of this file in case you ever have an issue with the original, or you want to import your key commands into a different system. Here's where this file is stored:

Logic Pro: ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro
Logic Express: ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.express

If you ever want to import key commands from a backup copy of the file, you can do so by opening the Key Commands window, as follows:

  1. Choose Logic Pro (or Logic Express) > Preferences > Key Commands.
  2. In the resulting Key Commands window, choose Import Key Commands from the Options pop-up menu.
  3. In the resulting dialog, navigate to and select the backup copy of your preferences file and click Open.
The key commands from your backup copy will be imported into the current preference file, replacing all previous commands.
