Download And Install The Key Commands File

Download the LogicKeyboardNinja Key Commands File

The Key Commands file will be in your downloads folder and ready to be moved to its new location.

Here is how to move the LogicKeyboardNinja key commands file.

Firstly, navigate to finder. You can do this by pressing Command and Tab, which is an equivalent to Alt Tab on Windows until VoiceOver tells you that Finder is in-focus.

Now, press Command, Option L which will take you to your downloads folder.

I find that having the Finder display items in columns view is easier to navigate, so if you heard the words ‘Icon View’, or “List View”, you may wish to now press Command 3, which will make the folder switch into columns view instead.

Locate the folder called logickn.

To do this, make sure that you are not using any VoiceOver keys, and that your quicknav setting is off. If you have been using Quicknav, disable it by pressing the left and right arrow keys together. You should hear: ‘Quicknav Off’

If it says on, press left and right arrow keys at the same time again.

Use up or down arrows to navigate through your download folder until you get to logickn.

Press right arrow to go into the logickn folder, then use down arrow to locate the file called logickeyboardninja.logikcs.

Having located logickeyboardninja.logikcs, press Command and C to copy it to the clipboard.

Press Command Shift H to go to your Home folder.

Either type M, U, to go to your Music folder, or use the up/down arrow keys to locate the Music folder.

Press the right arrow to enter it.

Locate the folder called Audio Music Apps. In most cases this is the folder you should land on when you press right arrow to enter the music folder. In that case press right arrow again to go into the Audio Music Apps folder.

If you land on a folder other than Audio Music Apps when you go into the music folder use up or down arrows to locate the Audio Music Apps folder, then press the right arrow to go into that folder.

use up or down arrow to locate the Key Commands Folder.

Press the right arrow to go into the Key Commands folder.

Press Command, Option and V to paste the logickeyboardninja.logikcs file in the Key Commands folder.

This moves the logickeyboardninja.logikcs file from our downloads folder and places it in your Key Commands folder.

Note: If you do not have a Key Commands folder, you will have to create it.

To do this, press Command Shift N for New Folder and type in the name as specified below.

To select the key commands file so Logic Pro uses it going forward, do the following:

Press VO M to bring up the menu bar.

Using the Right arrow key, navigate to the Logic menu.

Using the Down arrow key, navigate to the Key Commands sub menu.

Press the Right Arrow key to open the Key Commands submenu and you should be on Presets.

If not, then use up or down arrows to locate the Presets submenu.

Press the Right arrow key to open the Presets submenu.

Using the Up/down arrow key, locate logickeyboardninja and press Enter.

You have now successfully downloaded, copied and imported the logickeyboardninja Keymap into Logic.

Note: If you want to explore some of the key commands for yourself, you can put Logic into a mode where you cannot accidentally break your project.

To do this, press Option K, which opens the Key Commands Assignment window.

Using VO Right arrow, navigate to the first table you can find.

You can now press any key on the keyboard and VoiceOver should tell you what it does, excluding the Tab key.
