That only extends the region/marquee to the playhead but "Pickup Clock" does the trick and moves the region. But if I want to align 10 regions, I have to select them one by one and apply the key-command. In PT I only have to select the first region and then ctrl-click each region I want to align. That works even if I ctrl-drag a new region into the arrangement. (if I remember correct)

You can also use Shift while altering regions' end points, and the end points will all be aligned. It would have been nice if this worked for MIDI event/audio region start positions as well.

Nice one and yes, that would be nice.

I always only make the track taller (by dragging it's lower left edge downwards) and then press A - but this doesn't work if all the tracks already are tall.

That is a cool trick but I dont get why Logic by default shows the automation for tracks that don't use it. When in automation mode I sometimes click in a track by accident (while zooming). Then I draw an automation node, enable automation and the volume of the track jumps somewhere. And if I try to undo that, the volume remains changed and I have to disable automation manually.

Already there, I guess - but with different (and IMO too long) names:

⇧← •Toggle Previous Region/Event, or Set Marquee Start to Previous Transient
⇧→ •Toggle Next Region/Event, or Set Marquee Start to Next Transient
← •Select Previous Region/Event, or Set Marquee End to Previous Transient
→ •Select Next Region/Event, or Set Marquee End to Next Transient

Unfortunately, you have to manually enable a (one pixel wide) Marquee selection for these key commands to have any effect.

I know these commands but imho they are pretty useless. In most cases it is a lot faster to make selections/marquees with the mouse. What I would like to have is a command to move the playhead to the next/previous edit. and it would be very nice if the view would center around the playhead. I really liked that in ProTools. You roughly cut an audiofile by ear while playing it back, then zoom in and tab to the cuts to clean the edits. Very fast! If I use the key commands you mentioned in Logic while beeing zoomed in, I only make blind selections and If I try to jump with the playhead to the beginning of the selection (shift-return), the view is completely not centered.

What exactly does the Alt modifier do in PT?

It depends on the context but in many cases you can use it to apply something to all tracks. A little bit like the command key in Logic. If you solo a track with the command key, all tracks are soloed. But if you try to change the view in automation mode for all tracks at once it is not working. why?

I don't know what # does, but why not just press ⌥E ("Toggle Event Float") and enter the destination position? Or do I miss something?

I missed that one completely! Thanks!! (# in the german keyboard layout let you enter a destination position for the playhead and Shift-# moves a region to the playhead.)
