Logic Key Commands Question, Logic Key Commands Options

[karambos]

I've noticed that in the KEY COMMANDS window, there's an option to IMPORT KEY COMMANDS. Underneath that there's the option to COPY KEY COMMANDS TO CLIPBOARD. So I did. Then I pasted them into a Simple Text file. Then I altered one key command in Logic and tried to import the text file. But when you click ont the IMPORT KEY COMMANDS option, a window opens showing no text files.

My question: what sort of files is logic looking for? How do you export your KEY COMMANDS so that you can reimport them again later?

Your key commands are saved with your Logic preference file in your preference folder in the system folder.
Just make a copy of this file from the desktop.
You can the later import settings from it if you need to.

formatj is right,
to simplify his point, when you choose import key commands, just navigate to the song file that contains the key command/s that you want! they're automatically saved with the rest of the song's data.
you "over-egged the pudding" with the simpletext stuff...

The reason for copying key commands to clipboard is so that you can copy the list of key commands to a word processor so you can print it out as a reference. I have mine laminated so I can read them in the shower!

Damann,

Key commands are only saved to your logic Preference file in the system folder. They are not saved to a Logic song.
Therefore if you want to use a copy of your key commands in another studio you need to take a copy of your preference file, not just the song.

.....and to back up your key commands you need to make a copy of the preference file. To load key commands you need to import from the Logic preference file or a copy of one.

whoops, you're damn right. of course, formatj!!!
