You might be a Logic Pro X expert, or you might be a novice. It doesn't matter.
These key commands from Jay Asher (there's actually more than 10) can
improve your workflow. So check them out now.
I admit it, I have a prejudice. When I see videos or watch guys in person using
Logic Pro, no matter how good they are, and they are mousing around all over
the monitor to accomplish tasks, I think Amateur Hour. Any task performed
with a mouse move rather than a keystroke to me is a waste of effort and an
invitation to carpel tunnel syndrome.
This article is not about the ones that the developers consider so vital that they
have assigned a single digit key command, so I will dispense with those right
away by listing them. All of these open areas of the Main Window rather than the
standalone versions of the editors:

I click learn by key label and after trying some combinations that Logic Pro X
tells me are already assigned, I settle on Control-Option-L.
I then uncheck learn by key label, close the Key Commands window and press
that combination to toggle the screenset lock on, and as is evidenced by the dot
to the left of then screenset number, as you see in Pic 3, Bob's your uncle.

#3 Go To Position
Navigating around your project is a huge part of workflow and grabbing the
Playhead and dragging it around is, well, a drag.
Logic Pro has a pre-assigned key command to simply type in your position,
either by bars/beats or SMPTE position. It is assigned to the forward slash on
the keyboard next to the right Shift key and it opens. See Pic 4 and Pic 5.

If I want to go to e.g. 4 3 1 1 I simply type 4, hit the spacebar, then 3, and hit
theSpacebar, etc., click OK and the Playhead moves to that position, Next time
I open the Go To Position window it will remember the last position entered.
This used to be called Pickup Clock in previous versions of Logic Pro and it is
assigned to the semi-colon. In Pic 6 I have a bunch of regions that I want to
move to measure 1 but preserve the timeline relationship.

I press the semi-colon and it is done.

Simply press Control-N and those setting are preserved but all the numbers of
those parameters return to the default values.

Well, I can easily fix that by assigning the old behavior to Shift-Command-R,
right? Nope, already taken. OK, Control-Command-R? Nope, already taken
and that was true for every variant I tried.
My solution? Delete the Command-R key command for Repeat
Regions/Events and then assign that tandem to Repeat Regions/Events Multiple
Times. When I only want 1 repeat, I type in 1.
Sometimes change is not necessarily progress
