Complete Logic Pro keyboard shortcuts and commands reference — 785 shortcuts across 22 categories. Quick reference cheat sheet for Windows & Mac.
Logic Pro is Mac-only and has an enormous key-command set; this table keeps to the handful that carry a session — transport, split, join, duplicate, and the two panel toggles. Everything else is in the Key Commands window, which also lets you search by function name. The table uses Cmd as Apple labels it.

The most essential Logic Pro shortcuts are: Space (Play/Stop), R (Record), Cmd + Z (Undo).
The Logic Pro shortcut for play/stop is Space.
Print the Logic Pro cheat sheet and keep it next to your keyboard for the first week, then switch to active recall: open Shortcut Speedrun and practice Logic Pro shortcuts against the clock until they're automatic.
Yes — use My Stack to combine Logic Pro shortcuts with any other platform on this site into one printable reference, which is useful if your daily workflow spans several tools.
Space starts and stops playback from the playhead, and R begins recording on the record-enabled tracks. Cycle mode, punch and count-in change what R does, so check the transport bar before a take. Cmd + Z undoes; Logic keeps a long undo history and lists it under Edit › Undo History for jumping back several steps.
Cmd + T splits the selected regions at the playhead — the most-pressed editing key — and Cmd + J joins the selected regions into one, which for audio creates a new merged file. Cmd + D duplicates a region (or, in the mixer, a channel strip). Combined with the marquee tool for range selection, these three do most arrangement editing without the scissors or glue tools.
X toggles the Mixer at the bottom of the window and Y the Library on the left, where patches and channel-strip settings live. Both are worth learning because the Logic window is crowded on a laptop and hiding panels is the only way to see the arrangement. The full Key Commands list is under Logic Pro › Key Commands › Edit, with a search box and presets for other DAWs.
