Open/Close MIDI Insert 8 Plug-in Window of focused Track
Opens the plug-in in the eighth slot on a MIDI instrument (external or software instrument). The number of MIDI inserts seems a bit excessive to me, there being documentation for 15 slots, with only 8 actually available. I suspect there are some sequences of arpeggiators or other mapping/modification tools that could be applied.
Work in the plug-in window in Logic Pro — Apple Support
The header area at the top of a plug-in window is common to all plug-ins. You can use it to adjust the size of the window, link plug-in windows when more than one is open, switch the plug-in parameter view, and route side chain source signals.
Create 1 Track Automation Point for Visible Parameter
Creates one automation point. A single automation point is typically used to set a level or a value for the entire track.
You can easily add an automation point, assuming automation lanes are visible, by clicking in the track.
The commands do not work if automation is hidden.
Add and adjust automation points in Logic Pro — Apple Support
To add an automation point to an empty automation curve: Click anywhere in the automation track.
This adds an automation point at the project start position, using the current fader value.

Cycle Through Windows ⌘`
Bring windows to the foreground. The command will cycle through all of the windows that are open in the current screenset. Once a window is open the ‘Cycle Through Window Views’ (tab key) can be used to shift the keyboard focus to the desired section of the window.
The ‘Window Views’ command seems mostly useful in the Arrange window with multiple panes. The pane in focus is surrounded by a blue-line border.
Open and close Logic Pro windows — Apple Support
In Logic Pro, choose Window > Cycle Through Windows (or use the corresponding key command).
This command assigns key focus to the next open window, if it is fully obscured by other windows.
You can also cycle through working areas using Tab (cycles forward) and Shift-Tab (cycles backward).

Select Next Region/Cell on Focused Track →
Selects the next region on the focused track. The concept of the focused track is important. It is quite possible to have a region selected on a track that is _not_ the focused track. Using this command can cause some confusion if you are not focused 😉
Simply, pay attention to which track is highlighted when navigating and executing commands.
The concept of _focused_ tracks is gently introduced, without a significant discussion of what that really means.
Select tracks in Logic Pro — Apple Support
You can select multiple tracks. When multiple tracks are selected, the first selected track is the focused track. Some operations, such as choosing a patch in the Library, only affect the focused track when multiple tracks are selected.
When multiple tracks are selected, the track number of the focused track also appears selected (lighter gray color) on the left edge of the track header, unlike the other selected tracks.
